this years holocaust remembrance day is very important, given the current political climate. take today to remember the horrifying acts committed against jewish and romani people. take today to recognize the beginning of those same acts forming against PoC in america today. take today to resist those in power however you see fit, and after today, dont stop resisting. i am a jew still personally affected by the holocaust even 2 generations later. every jew is affected by the shoah, but there is a special pain to know what happened to your own family. or worse, not knowing what happened to the unknown people you see in old family photographs. we as a people will never be the same. remember the holocaust today. dont let this happen again.
non-jews are absolutely allowed/encouraged to reblog this
Since there are no date stamps on tumblr I wanted to add that Holocaust Remembrance Day is today. Jan 27th.
For years we believed Shia LaBeouf couldn’t be the son of Indiana Jones, but look at him now. Putting things in museums and fighting Nazis.
Henry Jones is so proud of his son <3

It’s frustrating that he’s only known for “inventing” peanut butter. He did so much more. He was born a slave (Carver was his master’s name), succeeded academically despite dismal odds, went on to testify as an expert before the Ways & Means committee in 1921, held seminars for mixed audiences (some of whom were racist and jeered him as he spoke). He taught at the Tuskegee Institute’s agricultural department for many years.
Fact:
He was never officially given a last name to my knowledge. As a child, he was accustomed to introducing himself as “Carver’s George” because his given name was George and the last name of his master was Carver. Shortly after emancipation, he introduced himself as “Carver’s George” and a lady said “No, your name is George Carver now” and she gave him the middle name of Washington as well.
Carver dedicated his life to improving the standard of living of poor people. He promoted the peanut and sweet potato because the boll weevil (insect pest) had completely demolished the cotton crops on which poor people had made a living. Poor (usually black) sharecroppers suffered the most, because they were the last ones to be paid from the ever dwindling harvests. The peanut and sweet potato were wise investments because they could grow in the same climate.
Carver’s ability to get people to change crops actually saved lives.
His testimony earned farmers an instrumental tariff on peanuts and his talks and pamphlets informed uneducated farmers on sound, science-based farming practices which increased their yields (people were still planting according to phases of the moon & other superstitions).
Throughout his life, Carver’s actions demonstrated how little he cared for money. For example, he turned down a six-figure job offer from Thomas Edison. Carver also didn’t spend much on clothes (and consequently was always shabbily dressed).
In 1917, Carver revealed what motivated him: “Well, some day I will have to leave this world. And when that day comes, I want to feel that my life has been of some service to my fellow man.” When he passed away in 1943, it would seem he had lived just such a life.
