Back to my sandbox for now

This was in such bad shape that I've moved everything back to my sandbox for now. Hope to bring it back out for collaboration sometime before long.Pat Palmer (talk) 14:44, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

This page under construction

I am working as the lead author on this article, which is under construction. I don't yet know what it's final format will be. It is what I would call an experiment. However, one of its goals is to provide a more complete history of the town and county as regards race relations. The existing history as found on the web is missing huge chunks of interest. A great deal of important information about what happened in the past has been deliberately forgotten, not recorded, actively discouraged from being talked about, or plain old ignored. This may be in part because the elements related to race relations are simply embarrassing and people would prefer to pretend none of it ever happened. Nowhere was history buried and forgotten and glossed over more fully, with more active enthusiasm, than in the Southern United States. Trevor Noah, in his auto-biography "Born a Crime", notes that these days even Germany openly and deliberately teaches to children what happened during the Holocaust in World War II, to prevent it ever happening again. But in the U.S., not so much. He wrote:

In American, the history of racism is taught like this: "There was slavery and then there was Jim Crow and then there was Martin Luther King Jr. and now it's done."[1]
