Today in history, 1885: 18th President Ulysses S. Grant dies. The Civil War hero who tried to protect Black civil rights throughout the south, Grant served two terms before leaving office in 1876. I dedicated several episodes to President Grant - check them out if you haven’t already.
It's a great tragedy how Grant has been forgotten. I wrote up a little piece on him a few months ago. Americans always forget their history, but the deeply inspiring, story of Grant might be one way to light a spark in that illiterate uncle we all have: www.fractalpast.com/blog/nothing...
