Life sometimes teaches you things that you would never have sought on your own or desired to know. Whitman who cared for wounded soldiers during the Civil War came to see them, their sufferings and later his own pains in a different light.

His belief in the efficacy of social service for salvation was put to an acid test in the year 1861, when on account of the war between the Northern and the Southern States a huge crop of wounded heroes awaited his healing touch. To them his heart went out freely. He watched over their beds all day and night as no beloved would. He nursed them and implanted fresh hopes into their hope-rid breasts. Though he hated war he was not averse to mend its necessary evils. There is a typical passage in His Specimen Days illustrative of his attention:

"This afternoon I spent a long time with Oscar Wilber, low with the chronic diarrhea and a bad wound also. He asked me to read to him a chapter of the New Testament....The poor wasted young man asked me to read how Christ rose again. I read slowly, for Oscar was very weak. It pleased him very much, yet the tears were in his eyes….He behaved very manly and affectionately. The kiss I gave him as I was leaving he returned fourfold."

This continuous strain got the better of even Whitman's own steel frame finally. He gifted himself to the service of humanity with a love which was the greatest of all gifts. He was soon struck with paralysis, and he laid down his life like a soldier on the battle-field. He had realized that joy had significance only to those that had passed through sorrow; and that it was one of the chiefest duties of mankind to alleviate suffering and secure joy to those who lacked it.

Such empathy though perfected and sharpened during the war was planted planted in his heart at an early age as the keen observer of nature learned its sometimes painful lessons. As a boy when he romped over the seashore he witnessed one of nature’s remorseless tragedies. Day after day he had seen complacently "two feathered guests from Alabama" together and one day the grievous screaming of the he-bird for the loss of his mate cut to the quick. This painful experience the poet applied to his own and whenever his eyes afterwards fell on sorrow he identified himself so much with the aggrieved that his own soul twinged and wept;

"Agonies are one of my changes of garments,

I do not ask the wounded person how he feels,

I myself become the wounded person,

My hurts turn livid upon me, as I lean on a

cane and observe."

Want to learn how to respond to fascism? Study Black history.

It’s perplexing how Americans, when discussing the dangers of fascism, invoke the memory of German Nazis and not American segregationists.

As a professor of curriculum studies and a scholar of bigotry, I’ve found it shocking how many Americans reduce the Jim Crow period to grainy images of segregated water fountains, bus boycotts and Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous line about the content of character. I have always found it even more perplexing that Americans, when discussing the dangers of fascism, will invoke the memory of German Nazis and not American segregationists. Jim Crow was fascism. So much so that, as law scholar James Whitman points out in “Hitler’s American Model,” the Nazis used America’s segregation laws as the model for their antisemitic Nuremberg laws. To study the history of Black Americans between the Civil War and the 1960s is to study a mass resistance to fascism. Perhaps it is intellectually easier for Americans to point to the fascists of Germany and Italy rather than to point at the segregationists they called Grandpa, Grandma, Mom or Dad, but we ignore the poisonous legacy of segregationists like Louisiana’s Leander Perez, Alabama’s George Wallace, Mississippi’s Ross Barnett and Theodore Bilbo at our own peril. This lie of omitting our own history of fascism makes it easier to assume that American democracy is robust and its foundations are solid. But as American studies scholar Nikhil Pal Singh asserts, the U.S. only became a liberal democracy in 1965 after the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act had become law. Regardless of whatever beautiful national myths may hold for some, such myths are not history. Authentic history is unflinching in what it tells its present and future generations; and such an unflinching account of the history of this country is what Black history provides. It tells America how viciously hypocritical it has been and could be again if it is not careful.

“And thenceforward all summer in the sound of the sea, and at night under the full of the moon in calmer weather, over the hoarse surging of the sea, or flitting from brier to brier by day, I saw, I heard at intervals the remaining one, the he-bird, the solitary guest from Alabama.”

hmm, that's a good question, anon! uhhh i dunno about kins/idols necessarily, i'm pretty happy with who i am and my own personal style/aesthetic, but characters that i really like/inspire me are: harley quinn, toga (duh), cher hororwitz, elle woods, and alabama whitman. just off the top of my head those are the first ones that come to mind! i'm 100% sure i'm missing some others, but yeah! <3

#they're all cute + strong + a lil bit crazy lmao #cher and elle are strong in their own ways #they all really stick to their personal values and are unapologetically themselves #they are all hyper-feminine yet successful (to some degree)#and to me they prove that you can be feminine n cute as well as strong at the same time #you don't need to choose one or the other #also slight yandere tendencies with some HAHA #i'm trying to think of characters that remind me of me #personality wise #but the only one i'm really coming up with is prompto argentum HAHAHAHAHA #we look identical too #fellow freckle babies c:#also as i was saying i see myself a lot in aerith as well #but i wouldn't say i necessarily want her aesthetic haha #she's a cutie tho #anyway! hope ur having a great tuesday anon bb! <3 #stay safe and stay hydrated okay!!#and if you have any characters that remind YOU of me feel free to send em my way EHEHE #inky.bb #clari gets mail
