Oct 2017

I used "modern" history in my posts and I noticed this afternoon the use of "modern" by some media outlets. I did so because there have been many race riots and massacres, not just of Native Americans, but of African Americans in this nation's history (see "Tulsa Riot", "Rosewood (Florida) Massacre" among others during the early part of the 20th century with the rise of Jim Crow).
