CellyBlue -- I do know this! -- Your mention of the horrific massacre and massive arson of 1921 in Tulsa is very important.

The State of Oklahoma and the City of Tulsa each had projects:

About 2001, a Commission of the State Legislature, assigned to the project in 1997, produced a circa 200-page report of the 1921 massive massacre of a highly professional and cultural area of Tulsa:

The area of Tulsa was known as a little Wall-Street for its professional community.

And you point out that the Holocaust Museum and similar institutions do an important work in making sure we do not forget.

The programs in Florida, beyond absurd, are actually dangerous in breeding ignorance and forgetfulness.

Ron DeSantis is Harvard educated and knows better, which makes me question why such persons promote a neo-fascist agenda.

It was well-known that already in the 1920s, Hitler was encouraged that outrage over the Turk killing of over 1.2 million Armenians in WWI had been largely forgotten. That forgetfulness emboldened the crazed Nazi-Leader to formulate the "Endlösung" (Final Solution).

We MUST never forget.

Anyone who reads Frederick Douglass and other important witnesses will have NO DOUBT what the evil of slavery is.

It is frustrating that we have to defend so vocally today truths that are so well-established that everyone should accept them, like we accept the laws of gravity, or that the earth is round.

What you describe should be self-evident, and I am very upset that we have to engage the public at such an elementary base of truth to correct DELIBERATE DISTORTIONS FROM THE RIGHT.

Thank you, THANK YOU, for the valiant fight for TRUTH.
