Let’s talk #DonaldTrump, shall we? He doesn’t like how #slavery is discussed in classrooms. As a teacher, I thought I’d give you the 411 on how we talk about #enslavedpeople and the inherent #prejudice and #torture that was wrapped up in it. /1

During #slavery, the holiday season was a brief chance for the enslaved to plan escapes and rebellions amid distracted owners. A historian tells the story of resistance: https://buff.ly/3BGaYXo
