   We have a history of whitewashing in this country. It’s something we do all too well.

   January 6th. Never Forget. Remember While You Can.

     @WarnerCrocker Using we when describing white washing Jan 6, seems amusing. You may have a mouse in your pocket, then there are two of you?/s

     @WarnerCrocker I don't condone what happened on Jan 6th.

     But, I wonder what the newspapers were reporting after the Boston Tea Party in 1773 or the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775.

     What might today's history say if the British had won the revolution?

     Winners write history, even if it's not the truth. It will be important for citizens to keep the truth of Jan 6th visible for the next 50-100 years!

     @tutormentor1 Given that a sizable number at the time were pro-Britain I'm sure there were dissenting opinions. But the writing of history always goes to the victor.
