@brighamofutah: I wanted to make a video that flies completely in the face of social media algorithmic thinking. So, while going for drive, I decided to turn off at the next cemetery and see if there was a reasonably picturesque but not-too-ostentatious headstone with a story beneath it. James R. Hawkins (1865-1904) was the pick of the day. Of course, information on an obscure person is going to be harder to come by than with a famous person. Thankfully, websites like FamilySearch and Find a Grave (and their contributors) came in handy there. #historytok #utahcheck #cemetery #TikTokLearningCampaign #learnhistoryontiktok
