OMG. I grew up in Aiken, SC — my dad got a job with DuPont at the Savanah River Plant after he graduated from Texas Tech. I worked hard in high school to learn real history of SC as opposed to UDC propaganda in the state approved textbooks. But I didn’t know about the Race Course Martyrs until today. I am now wondering if the Quaker Educator Martha J Schofield took part in Decoration Day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Schofield?wprov=sfti1#External_links
Thanks, Michelle. Just shared to Bsky. Glad you'll be around tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed thing go smoothly & the turnout is decent. Either way it'll be interesting, eh?
Hopeful everything is being preserved by government or former officials with a conscience.
I am so exhausted and this is costing so much money.
I always love a great American History Lesson. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This one needs to be read by everyone! Needs to be shared far and wide.
Thank you Michelle. That was truly moving and inspirational.

The UDC is pure evil.
