Why is DEI used by MAGA as an excuse to purge the accomplishments and resilience of POC from history books and museums?

Why are histories of white supremacy so objectionable to MAGA?

Because these aspects of history are more than objectionable; they are unfathomable. Literally unthinkable.

If MAGA were to accept what scholars know about America's past, it would cost them the whole basis of their self-image. It would require them to relinquish their superiority.

In the Central Peruvian Sierra, one ritual has been performed since the 16th century. The "Dance of the Conquest" mixes together masses, processions, banquets, dances through the community, at the intersection of religion and politics.

Combining ethnography and history, Isabel Yaya McKenzie offers, in this layered article, a fascinating reflection on #longuedurée, #memory, and lived temporalities.

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.
