Story of the Tennessee Agricultural Museum

I love history and learning the story behind the story! Thanks to friend and tractor collector Buddy Woodson for the invite to the Spring-Crank Up 2024, antique tractor show. During our visit to the show, and Tennessee Agricultural Museum, Buddy gave me a tour of the grounds of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Since then, I have been diving deep, and learning about the history of this…

Alrutheus Ambush Taylor (November 22, 1893 – June 4, 1954) historian, was born in DC. He earned a BA from the University of Michigan and taught at the Tuskegee Institute and the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Carter G. Woodson brought him back to DC to serve as a research associate with the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. Supported by a grant from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Fund, he began researching the role of African Americans in the South during the Reconstruction. He believed that the view of Reconstruction then prevailing in the US was deeply flawed. Though most of the work upon which that view rested had been done at Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University and then published by their respective university presses, he believed that the authors had not lived up to “the requirement of modern historiography” and had instead “written to prove that the Negro is not capable of participation in government and to justify the methods of intimidation instituted to overthrow the reconstruction governments of the Southern commonwealths.” He wrote The Negro in South Carolina During the Reconstruction. The book was first printed in the Journal of Negro History. His book drew upon a host of sources that white writers had neglected, including diaries, letters, church reports, school reports, census materials, agricultural records, economic data, local society proceedings, petitions, African American newspapers, and travel accounts by foreign visitors. He was able to counter the negative stereotypes that dominated previous writing and offer a more balanced account of the African American experience after the Civil War. He followed that book with The Negro in the Reconstruction of Virginia. He became a professor of history at Fisk University, where he remained for the rest of his career. In 1935 he earned a Ph.D. degree from Harvard, and in 1941 he published the third monograph of his Reconstruction trilogy, The Negro in Tennessee, 1865-1880. He was working on a comprehensive history of Fisk, yet another positive legacy of African Americans during the Reconstruction period. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/ClQvIFqrMkE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its really weird how so many people love Alycia Debman Carey and her characters but there is barley in fics about them

[nerdishpursuits]

utterly weak for this aesthetic

I finally got around to watching Freind Request and it was pretty good, it had a couple jump scares that got me. It’s a horror movie which is all well and good but the very last scene Alycia Debnam-Carey’s character looks straight into the camera and I was ready to risk it all I’m telling you

Just got back from seeing this film... now... listen, yes, I had already seen it *whispers* illegally... so I decided as penance (not really) I’d pay for two movie tickets.. which I did.. (might pay for 3 more on Sunday BEFORE Fear.. cuz let’s face it.. I ain’t missing that episode and my friends what me to go with them) anyway... Despite having already seen it... this movie almost scared the pee out of me! (Now it takes quite a bit to scare me... not even Annabelle did it for me) and Yes! I had seen the fucking film and it STILL got me! Several times actually. Also, seeing Alycia’s precious face on the big screen was pretty amazing! Not gonna lie 😏. Also my Brother enjoyed it so... win! win! So there are my two cents. I hope you enjoy it.. should you decide to go see it. ☺️
