    Just paid a visit to the smithsonian african american history museum (which has its own host of problems) but the history from 1400 on is just a series of cruel bloodthirsty depredations one after another. It was a little bit depressing

        It was very nice, and I was surprised that they had a large section on early to modern black power movements. It even mentioned COINTELPRO the assassinations of Hampton and other leaders, though there was no mention of the panthers’ nor the civil rights movement’s heavy ties to socialism. Spose its better than I expected
