I see Twitter/X is awash with people explaining that the protests in France are a result of immigration. Because it’s so, so utterly alien to French culture to take to the streets to protest, to riot, to rage. Maybe they should read some history or just watch some musicals before they post.

When I accepted the George Washington Book Prize at a black-tie dinner of 500 people at Mount Vernon in 2008, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito glared angrily as I explained how enslaved people were the nation’s real founding mothers and fathers. I guess he did not care for "history from below."

RIP, Jesse.
