Court Orders #Slavery #Exhibit At George Washington’s House Restored After #Trump Admin Pulled It Down
techdirt.com/2026/02/20/court-
The city sued to have the exhibit restored It appears the Judge in the case, a George W. Bush appointee, agrees with my assessment You can read as much in her blistering opening in her ruling, in which she also orders the government to restore the exhibit to its previous state

From our magazine: "The first time I ever heard the word 'slavery,' it came from Snow. It had never been taught in school, never been spoken of in my house. I didn’t know what it meant, only that it was serious and true. And it stamped itself on me." texasobserver.org/snow-on-mark

We’ve been learning about the 13 colonies all our lives, so why did no one think to mention the British Caribbean colonies? And why didn't these colonies join the American Revolution? The answer has a lot to do with slavery.

Today in Labor History February 20, 1931: An anarchist uprising in Encarnación, Paraguay briefly transformed the city into the revolutionary Encarnación Commune. Students and workers created popular assemblies to run the city. They tried to create communes in other towns, too, but the authorities thwarted their attempts. When the authorities began to retake Encarnacion, many of the insurrectionists stole steamboats and fled to Brazil. Along the way, they attacked yerba mate companies and burned records related to indentured servants. Gabriel Casaccia alluded to the uprising in his novel “Los Herederos.”

Today in honor of Black History Month, we remember Frederick Douglass, who died on this date, February 20, 1895. In an 1857 address Douglass said, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will."

After escaping slavery, Douglass became a national leader of the abolition movement. He also supported the women’s suffrage movement and ran for vice president as running mate to Victoria Woodhull on the Equal Rights Party ticket. In addition to being a brilliant orator, writer and social justice activist, Douglass was also the single most photographed man of the 19th century. He sat for over 160 portraits, always taking a dignified pose. He considered photography a tool for creating a positive image of black men. (Check out the graphic novel about Frederick Douglass by comic book artist extraordinaire, David Walker).

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🏙️🕯️ For nearly 200 years, an #EastVillage rowhouse at 29 East 4th Street kept a heroic secret hidden within its walls.

Historians recently confirmed that a narrow shaft hidden below built-in drawers was designed to hide freedom seekers on the #UndergroundRailroad. Built in 1832 by hatter Joseph Brewster, the site is a rare physical trace of the abolitionist movement in a pro-slavery era.
