As you can see, after a peak in 2015, our number of visits declined during the first Trump regime. There was a new peak in 2020 with the massive George Floyd police-murder protests and the fiercely fought Biden v Trump election with its blatant Republican attack on voting rights. After 2020, our numbers again declined, possibly due to the continued suppression and intimidation of ideas and concepts that Trump-MAGA political forces label "woke" or "diversity" for their partisan purposes — similar to the way that McCarthyites in the 1950's used slanders of "un-American" and "subversive" to attack their political opponents.
Since the bulk of our users are grade-school and college students, it's normal for our website traffic to rise and fall with the school calendar as they use us for homework, reports, research, and so on. Our busiest months are usually January (MLK Day), February (Black History Month), and April & May (academic year and term papers due).
Google reports that out on the global internet there are 30,160 backlinks to our site by people, organizations, and schools using us as an information resource.
On average, international users make up around 20% of our users. We are proud that our Freedom Movement of the 1950-1960s is still of interest to people around the world and that our site still stands as an open and free international information resource.
