In the introduction to Firebrands: Portraits from the Americas, by the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, Taylor Sparrow writes, “If you don’t learn history, and I mean learn it like the way you learn to love music, poetry, and kissing, then the world will always be a mystery to you, and you’ll have to stumble through your days without being able to make any sense of what’s happening, or what you could possibly do differently.”
