"What's up, OG? Just wondering if y'all had any new bell hooks? We don't have her, brother. Oh. You got any good people since you were in the United States? How about the Souls of Black Fold by W.E.B. Duvall? Lyson Hughes, Tony Morrison, James Baldwin, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Minnie Baranth, and Gil Scott Heron, Holy Murray, Lorraine Hinsberry, Ralph Allison, Alice Walker, Bro, Mike Angelo? I really wish we could help you. This is a black history library. How can you not have any of those people? What happened? What happened? How much time you got? For years, the children of America were taught the history of African Americans, our triumphs, our tribulations, and our tumultuous relationship with this country, as our ancestors fought for and eventually gained our freedom. Right, we're worrying about any social studies. Until one day, the Trump administration awoke from their beds and went scorched earth on the curriculum of America's youth, promoting anti-intellectualism and complete rejection of our nation's history, banning books and curriculums that have shaped this nation into a place where all cultures, races, and backgrounds. Why? Why? Ignorance is the currency of fascism. It pays in power and a brinkstruck of control. If you take the books away from the people, they will soon forget what was scribed in them, forget the unjust world that we left behind, and will even forget the reasons why we refused to go back to that world. They will never notice when you steal the rights from beneath them and plunge them into the depths of fascism. They become more willing to repeat their ancestors' mistakes because their ancestors are on page three of a book charred in flames. Are they doing this here? All across America. Here in Georgia, Governor Kemp has taken the direction of the Trump administration and has banned all material leading to guilt, anguish, and psychological distress. That's what they think of your history. They're trying to erase us. They're trying to erase the sacrifices of America's activists. Fred Hampton is rolling in his grave as Donald Trump dances in his ballroom. Who's Fred Hampton? So what are we going to do? Call your Republican senators, mail them. Better yet, tag them in this video and ask them why are they letting the Trump administration destroy our history?"
