They don't talk about this in history class. Well they didn't in my day. Usually American history ended right after the Civil War...

Certainly learned about it in my history classes... but I did go to school in the north, so. The north certainly was and is not without racism at all, but perhaps history is taught a bit differently up here?

in our school district we had up to civil war in middle school - high school back tracks to american revolution in more depth, constitution stuff in more detail, then moved on to conflicts after the civil war, spending a lot of time on ww2, then had a quarter on the civil rights movement and vietnam protests.

but this was only a bit over a decade ago - I am a bit younger than you, so it may be where I was being educated, but might also be the timing of it all.

Similar to ours, but we had "early" American history in middle school after world history, then up to Civil War, modern world history & american history in high school - junior (I think?) year had a history class requirement of two quarters that was basically what lead to modern american social circumstances, including things like what lead to the civil rights movement, civil engagement in that time period including vietnam, early red scare, and other stuff I no longer remember.

link to enslaved roman catholic popes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slaves

Pope Callixtus I (died 222) was Pope from about 217 to about 222, during the reigns of the Roman Emperors Heliogabalus and Alexander Severus. He was martyred for his Christian faith and is a canonized saint of the Roman Catholic Church.

Pope Clement I (died in 100) was the fourth Pope according to Catholic tradition. He may have been a freedman of Titus Flavius Clemens.

Felicitas, Christian martyr and saint (died March 7, 203).

Pope Pius I was Pope from about 140 to about 154, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Antonius Pius.

Saint Patrick, abducted from Britain, enslaved in Ireland, escaped to Britain, returned to Ireland as a missionary

I believe that there were 2 more, but I couldn't track it down that they were slaves. Perhaps they were just killed by the Romans.

A lot of civil rights sections contain stuff on jim crow... reconstruction is sometimes grouped in with civil war, other times forgotten. reconstruction wasn't the only thing to happen between the civil war and ww1, but it does seem like that entire time period just sometimes gets forgotten given what happened before and after it.

Yea i see they put Jim Crow in with civil rights, but IMO it deserves its own section. When I think Civil Rights I think MLK, Rosa Parks, LBJ, and the Black Panthers. When I think Jim Crow, I think seperate but equal, chain gang, sharecropping, Jack Johnson, strange fruit, sun down towns.

Same as Reconstruction, it could stand on its own. Both eras still shape society to this day.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
