Closing Out "MLK Day" 2021

Pre-write for future historians: "Though the insurrection had failed, Republicans used Trump's remaining time to promote white nationalism. On MLK Jr. Day, the administration published a report asserting slavery was both necessary and consistent with the Framers' stated ideals." https://t.co/9kRRMYRh0g

And worth noting:

A response to the NYT’s 1619 Project, Trump’s crude “1776” revisionism is a clear statement of white entitlement, saying that only certain people can write history, that only the dissent of certain people is patriotic. The antithesis, in fact, of the American idea.
