I wonder what history I would find by visiting a Native American library?

I bet there would be something about the subject of "Killers of a Flower Moon" - among many many many others.

Looking forward to that movie when it hits theaters on October 20. They shot it at many of the actual locations of the events in the book.

I read something about that - not the book or the movie - a while ago. Something close to some of the treatment & abuse done to the black towns in the south years ago.

To whom it may interest: I just read тАЬA Brief History on Anti SemitismтАЭ, which I googled. It was something everyone should read. It only takes about 15 minutes. It scares me beyond words to know some human beings are this depraved and sick, and always have been!

I think this may be what you refer to. It's a pdf titled "A Brief History of Antisemitism", published by the Anti-Defamation League. It's 6 pages in length. https://www.adl.org тА║ sites тА║ default тА║ files тА║ brief-history-of-antisemitism.pdf Readers may need to copy & paste the full url.

And the lesson for us today ... History is gaining on us. The question then is Once it rolls over us, where will our justification come from for staying in the same lane that leaves us receding into the same place as other grand follies have? I really hope that instead, we live up to the truth, live with it, do better going forward.
