The Paleofuture Blog Is 7 Years Old Today

Posted: at 12:43 am

S

The Paleofuture blog turns 7 years old today! And you can now find every Paleofuture post ever writtenright here at Gizmodo.

When I came on board at Gizmodo this past May, I brought my entire Paleofuture archive with me. Every post I've ever written under the Paleofuture nameat Paleofuture.com and Smithsoniancan now be found here at Paleofuture dot Gizmodo dot com. All you need to do is use that little search bar in the upper lefthand corner.

For instance, if you're interested in Nikola Tesla's predictions for the future, just type in "Tesla." Interested in robots or monorails or Disney? Same deal.

Paleofuture explores how people of the past imagined the future, and we're always making more futurism. So conceivably I could do this forever. But we'll see about that.

We're seven years in and (amazingly) I'm not sick of the topic yet. I really do think that futurism provides the most fascinating lens through which to study historyfrom the shiny plastic utopias of the 1950s to the dark polluted dystopias of the 1970s.

And as I've said before, looking at the accuracy of past predictions is really just a jumping off point. Determining if an old prediction was "right" is fun, but the truly interesting question is why people made their particular prediction to begin with. What was the context of the prediction? What were people excited or terrified about? As always, predictions say more about the person making them than they do about the actual future.

So here's to seven more years of our weird and wonderful visions of yestermorrow, and definitely drop me a line (novak@gizmodo.com) if you find something paleofuture-y that I haven't covered.

Thanks for reading.

Freedom Riders captivate high school audiences

Posted: at 9:46 pm

Beatings. Sacrifice. Arrests. King, Evers and Meredith.

Four senior citizens took to the Judson and Wagner high school auditorium stages Jan. 16 and told riveting stories of their youth more than 50 years ago, when the so-called Freedom Riders came to Jackson, Miss., their hometown.

The adults captivated their teen audiences with the telling of the 1961 Freedom Riders civil rights activists who rode buses into the deeply segregated South. The tour set out of Washington, D.C., and attempted to integrate facilities at bus terminals along the way.

Three of the speakers were eventual Freedom Riders, and a fourth has a brother who was part of the movement. All urged the high school audiences many the same age now that the Freedom Riders were when they joined the protests to take up the torch and carry onefforts to bring equality to people of all races, creed, religions and beliefs.

We're hoping to raise awareness, Julia Humbles said. Because 53 years later, we're still fighting the same battles today, and that shouldn't be. If you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it.

The Freedom Rider movement attempted to integrate facilities at bus terminals in the South. African-American Freedom Riders tried to use whites-only restrooms and were the targets of vicious beatings.

The rides tested discrimination in interstate travel, Humbles said. The police didn't have to be called; they were already there, watching, sometimes taking part.

She gave a vivid description of what it felt to be a black Freedom Rider in the segregated South .

When you looked at their faces, and they were hating you, despising you, never having met you, she said. You knew, deep inside, what they wanted to do to you, and you wondered, 'How could they hate me so much?'

Humbles, one of the first riders to be arrested, described an incident in which a bus was torched with Freedom Riders still on board. They threw the bomb in, and it exploded, and flames went everywhere. Someone was outside, holding the door shut. They weren't trying to intimidate us, they were trying to fry us.
