"For millions of students passing through North Carolina’s public schools, learning from textbooks that never mentioned the deadly 1898 coup d’etat in their state, it was as though that event never happened. 'I took several courses on North Carolina history throughout my middle school and high school career,' Dr. Crystal Sanders, today a history professor at Emory University, told American Experience."

"Radical" comes from Late Latin radicalis, from Latin radix, radic- "root", whose own root is Proto-Indo-European *wrād- "branch, root".
This is the same source as "radish" (=root) and "eradicate", which is from ex- + radix, radic- "root out".
A radical change is one that goes to the root of things.

For the first time in a long time, the images Google publishes when you search for my name actually represent what it is like being me on a daily basis.
I am slowly remembering all the things I did to build up 20K on Twitter -- it took work over time.
