Harvard and Yale students protesting the universities’ holdings in fossil fuel and Puerto Rican debt stormed the field during halftime at the HY football game. A group of abt a hundred students sat in the middle of the field, and soon dozens (hundreds?) of spectators joined them – at New Haven, CT

This is amazing. New materials to help teach the #1619 essays for high school and undergrads. This project has wrecked many syllabi and lesson plans but in the best ways possible. Use these resources! pulitzercenter.org/builder/l…
