Stan Lee introduced the character Black Panther in July 1966. The Black Panther Party was founded in October 1966... but they borrowed the name from a prior group - The Lowndes County Freedom Organization which used a Black Panther logo starting in March 1965 as a spin-off of Freedom Summer #HATM

I’ve been wanting to watch it again 🤓

The images we have of "snowed in and starving" are more harsh than the actual, and still very difficult, conditions.

Battle of Bennington! Woot!
It's the battle where two of my ancestors met and led to my people moving from Massachusetts to Vermont.

Had another great day of students rolling up characters and building backstories for their characters using the robust and historically based character creation system for “Haunted West” by @darkerhue.bsky.social in service of a project exploring the history of “the West.”
