My latest Modern Library essay is now up. This one tackles C. Vann Woodward's great volume on Jim Crow and had me digging through a lot of digital archives, including a Black journalist in 1885 who reported that he was treated better in the South than the North. The upshot is this. Unjust laws and corrupt institutions encourage people to give into their worst instincts. History reminds us that we have a duty to fight both.

The Strange Career of Jim Crow (Modern Library Nonfiction #70) - Reluctant Habits

The great C. Vann Woodward not only offered a vital and far more sophisticated view of Jim Crow and the South than most of the historians who became before, but he also demonstrated the dangers of how unjust laws and corrupt institutions can galvanize the most repugnant qualities within Americans when their natural instincts lean into the very reverse.

Reluctant Habits - a cultural forum in ever-shifting standing

“Free Kurdistan – Free Rojava” appears one morning in March on a wall at Friedensburg Secondary School (FOS). The slogan is not out of place anywhere.

But for the teachers, it is. And without giving it much thought, they accuse a student of colour, one of our comrades, a Palestinian.

The graffiti looks “like his sort of thing”. They take away his worksheets, wanting to compare his handwriting. Simply because it somehow looks like him.

What does something “look like him”, anyway?
And what exactly is the crime here? The graffiti, or his background, his appearance?

The suspicion cast on our comrade is part of a long-standing pattern of racist harassment, which we condemn and will fight against.

We stand in solidarity with our comrade against any form of racist attack, whether by teachers, the police or anyone else!
