Canceling Black History Month events over bogus ‘DEI concerns’ is a blatant attempt to silence history that challenges the status quo. Dr. Kelley is right—this isn’t about lawsuits or diversity. It’s about fear: fear of the truth, fear of accountability, and fear of the powerful work done by historians like her. Kelley’s books, like Right to Ride, are essential reading, the kind of history these gatekeepers don’t want you to know. This is a battle for honest history—one we must fight alongside scholars and public historians who refuse to let the past be erased. Erasure is violence, and we won’t stand for it.
