Professor Blight,
I was a student at GMI in Flint from 1971 to 1976.
I'm well over halfway through your biography of Frederick Douglass.
Excellent read.
I'm am reading many books on black history and your book is a solid baseline that connects ante to post bellum.

Yes, take it directly to the textbook publishers. California, New York and other populous states need to assert themselves rather than allow Texas and Florida to control the nation’s textbooks. Well done Gavin Newsom.
