Almost all the figures in this Mental Floss article about eight forgotten figures from the American Revolution would be erased from our educations given the current anti DEI crusade by the Republicans because only of of them is a white male.

Of these eight figures, I only knew of one of them from my early education in the Jurassic era (1970s): Crispus Attucks. The first person killed by the British in the American Revolution at the Boston Massacre.

These are the stories we desperately need to be taught to future generations. Not the mythos of a bunch of white men doing everything.

Non in cautus futuri.
