📅 This Day in #History: The 15th Amendment (1870)

The right to vote regardless of race was guaranteed today in 1870. In this #PBS Frontline #video, reporter Alexis Johnson explains how this promise was quickly undermined through organized violence and discriminatory laws like poll taxes and literacy tests.

The struggle continued until the 1965 Voting Rights Act—and many challenges remain today. 🗳️✊🏾

That’s why the Poynter Institute’s media literacy initiative MediaWise, in partnership with PBS News Student Reporting Labs, created AI Unlocked, a five-part video series with accompanying lesson plans that breaks down the world of artificial intelligence in ways that teens can comprehend.'

ABC News · Congressional Republicans target PBS, NPR funding in contentious hearingBy DAVID BAUDER AP media writer

in an article about maga wanting to defund PBS because the truth hurts them I found an interesting statistic "According to a 2024 poll by YouGov, PBS was Americans’ third-most trusted news source after The Weather Channel and the BBC."
It's very telling that the most trusted news source in the states is the British Broadcasting Company, even people from here don't trust US news organizations to be honest.
