Tonight we received an apology from the descendants of Frank Baum - the Wizard of Oz creator who When he heard of the killing of Sitting Bull and the massacre at Wounded Knee, he wrote editorials calling for killing each and every last Native American.

@Museek Andrew Jackson is on our 20 dollar bill TODAY!!
"By the end of Jackson’s Presidency, his administration had negotiated almost 70 removal treaties. These led to the relocation of nearly 50,000 eastern Indians to the Indian Territory—what later became eastern Oklahoma. It opened up 25 million acres of eastern land to white settlement and, since the bulk of the land was in the American south, to the expansion of slavery."
@JazzCrafter @Museek A decade or two ago there was talk of replacing that racist drunk's face with Harriet Tubman's. Which is actually problematic, but I'd still rather see her face than his.
@JazzCrafter Yes.. I know.. and he's Trump's hero...
