Unit 6, post 10: I didn't know Los Alamos was an unintentionally created secret town to build the atomic bomb. It wasn't even on maps until after World War II ended. #Hist2110

Unit 6, post 9: When students at UNM demanded action on racial discrimination, the student council leaders said the issue was "unimportant" and refused to act. The students didn't back down. They organized boycotts of local businesses that discriminated. It shows that students can make change happen when those in power won't. #Hist2110

Unit 6, post 8: The Navajo Code Talkers created an unbreakable code using their own language. Their service was kept secret for over 25 years because military officials thought the code might be needed again during the Cold War. But it also feels like the government didn't want to give Navajo people the credit they deserved. #Hist2110

Unit 6, post 7: What stood out most about the Japanese American internment was that the government tried to lie about what they were doing and didn't admit it was wrong until 1983, and even then they didn't really do anything to correct the harm. Real people who were born in this country (and even if they weren't born here) lost everything. #Hist2110

Unit 6, post 6: Reies López Tijerina built the Alianza on the backs of women who did most of the work but got no recognition. He celebrated the Spanish empire and ignored the violence done to Indian nations. And his views became increasingly anti-Semitic. He was an important figure, but making him the only hero of the land grant movement means ignoring other people who did the real work. #Hist2110
