#OnThisDay, 25 Nov 1960, sisters Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa Mirabal were assassinated for their political opposition to the Dominican dictator Trujillo.

In 1999, the UN designated 25 Nov as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in the sisters' memory. The day now marks the start of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.

Viola Ford Fletcher, one of the last known survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, died today at age 111. After decades of silence for fear of reprisals, she wrote a book about her experiences, "Don't Let Them Bury My Story," which was published in 2023. “I could never forget the charred remains of our once-thriving community, the smoke billowing in the air, and the terror-stricken faces of my neighbors,” she wrote. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Hey #Bookstodon - I am in a bit of a reading rut and need some #recommendations to help me get out. Do you have any good recommendations for historical #fiction? I would even take some well-written #history or #travel books. My only restriction is that I would like recommendation not focused on the United States (but I am open if it is good). Thanks!

In the 19th century, Americans idealized wilderness, which they defined as natural areas without people in them. The issue with this, of course, was that the “wilderness” areas that they wanted to turn into national parks had people in them.

So what was it like for the people who lived in these “wildernesses,” what happened to them, and what evidence is left of their lives?

Dear #history folks: I'm a professional mapmaker (https://somethingaboutmaps.com) and I make a lot of maps for academic press books.

Would you be interested in attending an online talk where I discuss:
• what cartographers are
• why your work might benefit from maps
• how to find a mapmaker
• what it's like to work with one
• how much it might cost
?

If there's enough interest, I might put something together this winter, so please boost this! If it happens, I'll announce it here and on my blog.

She is the first African-American child to attend the all-white William Frantz school in Louisiana, USA. It is a symbolic act, breaking the segregation of education in the state.
