About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Nikole Hannah-Jones Article

 I wanted to share this NYT article that I was reminded of when reading Chapter 2 of Our Declaration. It has some similar ideas to Allen's, but relates them to the use of the American flag. This piece is from The 1619 Project, and the historical accuracy of some of its claims have been debated, but I still think it is an interesting and relevant read.
