Lonnie G. Bunch III, founding director of NMAAHC reminds us:
“One can tell a great deal about a country by what it chooses to remember [...] One can tell even more by what a nation chooses to forget: what memories are erased and what aspects of its past are feared.”

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Elon Musk got $38 BILLION from the US Government.
That's the equivalent to $112 for every adult & child in the United States.
The USDA has a budget of $500 for emergency food relief.
That's less than $2 for every American.
But, sure, we can afford Musk's toys but not to keep Americans alive.
