A Day for Rememberin': Inspired by the True Events of the First Memorial Day by Leah Henderson

5.0

A line in the story reads, “Masters locked away learning ‘cause knowledge is it’s own freedom.” And damn. Doesn’t that just shine even more light on the fact that students aren’t taught the truth about a lot of our American history in school? Why aren’t certain things taught? Why are things altered? Because “knowledge is it’s own freedom.”

This fictional telling of the first Memorial Day (Decoration Day) was very moving.
