Trevor lets kick things off on the west coast. You know, the part of america that keeps nevada from getting wet. Extreme wildfires have been devastating the region for over a week now, and as if the Natural Disaster isnt bad enough, its being made worse by some serious human stupidity. Raging wildfires in california, oregon and Washington State are burning out of control at this hour. At least 35 people have died. Officials describe conditions as apocalyptic. As if the fatal massive wildfires werent enough to contend with, now officials in oregon are having to plead with residents to ignore a q anon Conspiracy Theory that is quickly spreading online. The false claim says antifa is to lame blame for starting the fires. A county sheriffs deputy placed on leave after a video of him went viral saying fascists started fires in oregon. Antifa ~bleep are out causing hell and theres a lot of lives at stake and there are a lot of peoples property at stake because these guys got some vendetta. T

History and conversation with us. And to kind of create a space to put that history of conversation with the president and struggles today. Tonight we are going to be talking about black power and political refreshment. It feels a timely in the moment we are in. I think most of you who have been here before also know that every two months i like to talk about rosa parks. Many of you know i am professor Jeanne Theoharis and i wrote a biography of rosa parks and this would have been her 100 third birthday. In honor of that, colleagues have built a new web site called rosaparksbiography.
