Did you know that different regions of the sun rotate at different rates? The sun is not a solid object, so rotation speeds can and do vary with latitude. The sun rotates once every ~24 days at the equator, and once every ~30 days at the poles!

Presidents have always instrumentalized the past to advance their political agendas. But Trump’s efforts to change the shape and meaning of Black History Month are something different.
