Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:11 GMT

Recently, peculiar skirmishes have broken out in the U.S. over our history. In Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, and many other places, conservatives have made efforts to sanitize the teaching of what exactly happened in America’s past. But it’s important to keep in mind this is just part of a much longer war — and, in fact, those who want to misrepresent history have won many victories. This is evidenced by the fact that the conventional wisdom about the past in the U.S., what everyone “knows,” is often wrong or far too simplistic.This week on Deconstructed, senior writer Jon Schwarz speaks to historians Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer about their new book, “Myth America: Historians Take On the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past.” With 20 chapters by 20 different historians, the new book takes a look at key fairy tales and replaces the standard bland hokum with the far more interesting reality.Transcript coming soon. The post “Myth America”: New Book Dismantles 20 Legends Abo...

DuBose uses odd jobs to carve out unusual path to NFL draft

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:11 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Grant DuBose took the chances when nobody else would.He accepted the only scholarship offer he had coming out of high school, from Division II Miles College in Alabama, less than two weeks before signing day. When the COVID-19 pandemic canceled his 2020 season, he juggled four jobs between workouts so he could pay bills. And at the urging of a friend, he left Miles in 2021 for a summer tryout with Division I Charlotte.Now, after two strong college seasons, DuBose may be about to see the payoff — going from grocery bagger and Walmart employee to NFL draft pick in three years.“What it taught me about life? Just the importance of hard work,” he said. “Going in, working those shifts and once I got off, finding time to put the extra work in, to go to the field and go to the gym. It taught me the process of hard work and working for the things you really want in life.”The lanky receiver never doubted he could make it — if given the chance. Most did no...
