Did you know that the 13,000 Native Americans that fought in World War I were not even U.S. citizens? Natives were not granted citizenship (of our own country) — until June 2, 1924.

You would’ve known this. Had they taught it to you in school.

@black_intellect Thank you, today is another day of learning (& feelings in the gut). Check out this story: https://www.ttbook.org/interview/was-jim-thorpe-greatest-athlete-who-ever-lived
Was Jim Thorpe the greatest athlete who ever lived?

Drawn from conversations with hip-hop artist Tall Paul, journalist Patty Loew and biographer David Maraniss, we hear stories from the NFL, from baseball, and, of course, from what made Thorpe a legend —the 1912 Olympic Games.
