The Erasure of History Has Already Started

@tadstoermer Colonial Williamsburg’s deletion of their ‘OurAmericanRevolution.org’ site—an invaluable, honest resource on the American Revolution’s complexities—feels like ‘obedience in advance’ to those who’d rather see history sanitized than examined. This was more than a website; it included crucial perspectives on slavery, Indigenous histories, and insights from leading historians. Now? Gone. This erasure isn’t accidental—it’s a warning. Are we about to see more sites, more resources, vanish in favor of a ‘comfortable’ narrative? Watch closely, folks, because history doesn’t disappear by itself. #honesthistory #colonialwilliamsburg #publichistory ♬ original sound - Tad Stoermer
