    I do not know how many of you saw ALA's Press Release stating "The American Library Association's Executive Board has signed on to a statement from the American Historical Association that condemns the Advisory 1776 Commission report from the previous administration that "reject[s] recent efforts to understand the multiple ways the institution of slavery shaped our nation's history." 

    I've attached the commission report to this message for those who wish to view it.
