Erica Buddington, in a Twitter thread to end all threads:

This #thread is for those of you struggling to comprehend that the recent murders are just a fraction of racial violence in the United States. We are protesting for #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor, #AhmaudArbery AND hundreds of years of oppression.

Let’s begin your history lesson.

Powerful thread, 100+ tweets with dates, plaques, pictures, and commentary running from the 1829 Cincinnati Riots to the present day. Additional resource suggestions (books, podcasts, documentaries) start here.
