Topping this week's Cambridge Day recap is our story, Thanksgiving was a bigger deal than Christmas for Cantabrigians during and after the Civil War: buff.ly/311OOMxFrom the author: "I...want to acknowledge the painful legacy of Thanksgiving for Indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities in New England and across the country. It was my intention to present the version of the 'first Thanksgiving' embraced by Cantabrigians of the Civil War era as a myth – one used by white residents of New England to place themselves and their region at the center of the country’s origin story at a time of sectional discord and upheaval. The legacy of violence and betrayal created in the years following the arrival of European colonists and perpetuated over the past four centuries makes the popular celebration of Thanksgiving problematic at best, and we recognize and support those who mark this day as one of mourning rather than of celebration."#thanksgiving #decolonizethanksgiving #cambma #localhistory #americanhistory ...
