Romani children are being denied education in France and other parts of Europe on a routine basis.
It makes me sick how little we’ve seemingly evolved, socially as a species…that we’re still doing things like this…
This is NOT OKAY…it wasn’t okay however many decades ago when people were first spreading their hateful lies and insults about Romani people and looking to persecute them just for who they are and it’s not okay now…
godDAMMIT we were supposed to have LEARNED BETTER SEVENTY YEARS AGO
The LIT History Series is for the Legends, Innovators and Trailblazers that have shaped our culture.
It is widely believed that the “Lone Ranger”, the famous cowboy of the TV show and the movie, was inspired by a Black man named Bass Reeves.
Reeves was born a slave, but he escaped to the West where he eventually became a Deputy U.S. Marshal, an expert marksman, and a master of disguise with his Native American sidekick. Blacks were a huge part of the Western frontier despite what’s told to us in pop culture or taught to us in the classroom. “The kids who are learning history in our schools are not being told the truth about the way the West was,” says Jim Austin, founder of the National Multicultural Heritage Museum. “I bet you nine out of 10 people in this country think that cowboys were all white - as I did.” (x)
Cherokee Bill, born Crawford Goldsby, was a notorious outlaw whose father was a Buffalo Soldier. His reputation and career as an outlaw rivals the reputation of Billy the Kid. Bill Picket was a “famous” Black cowboy who toured the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South America, and England, and he was inducted into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame 40 years after his death. (x)
And black cowboys are still here, they do exist.
That’s a huge part of history that was also erased from the history of America. We need to bring attention to this, because it’s unfair that black people along with other people of color have been erased from this narrative.
