#JamesBaldwin, renowned #Queer #Black author and social critic, was was born in Harlem, NYC, in 1924 on #ThisDayInHistory. He moved to France to escape #racism, but came back to participate in #CivilRights marches, arguing that #capitalism uses race as a means of social control.

302 years ago today Christopher Wren, Surveyor of the King's Works, died. 100 years later to the day, Canada's Dominion Architect, Thomas Fuller, was born. Coincidence??? Yes, absolutely. But it gives me an excuse to mention two cool architects in one post. #ThisDayInHistory

A fairly broad, low, Classical building viewed from the side. The lower story is heavily rusticated masonry, the upper story is smooth ashlar. A cupola and small dome rise above the roof. The left side of the building has sharp corners, while the right side of apsidal.

A robust, picturesque building of red sandstone sits on a street corner. The angle of the corner features the main entrance and a very beefy clock tower rising above. The stone is rugged, 'hammer-dressed' stone, giving the building a very brawny appearance.

🇺🇸 George Washington passed away 225 years ago tonight at Mt. Vernon. Fearing he might be buried alive, he warned his aide, “Do not let my body be put into the vault in less than three days after I am dead. Do you understand?” #GeorgeWashington #History #MountVernon #HistoricalFacts #ThisDayInHistory

#BlackLivesMatter #AntiRacist activists dumped a statue of #SlaveTrader #EdwardColston into the harbour of #Bristol, England, on #ThisDayInHistory in 2020. That the city had long honoured a man whose company had enslaved 100,000 West Africans was the real crime; this was justice.”

Aug 29, 2005: Hurricane Katrina devastates the Gulf Coast. Mississippi was flattened. New Orleans drowned. The storm hit but it was the levees that failed. And the government? Slower than the floodwaters. If you remember it, you lived history. #HurricaneKatrina #ThisDayInHistory #365History
