Not gonna share 'em here regularly, which is the whole point, but a reminder that I'm still gonna be posting #ScholarSunday threads on my newsletter, such as today's 183rd here! Please keep contributions coming over there, y'all. Solidarity, & peace. americanstudier.substack.com/p/scholarsunda…
Breaking hiatus to say: Kamala's heritage is even more illustrative than Obama's, & I called him "the first American President." Presidents are many things, but symbolic representations of US is high on the list. Proud to support Harris for our next one. saturdayeveningpost.com/2020/08/consid…
I really loved the chance to watch the powerful new film Bounty at @revspaces' Old State House, & think both it & the site are modeling how we can include our hardest histories in our collective spaces. saturdayeveningpost.com/2024/07/consid…
Read Ben Railton's recent The Saturday Evening Post article "Considering History: The Troubling Story of Scalp Bounties" about the film Bounty, now showing daily at the Old State House. saturdayeveningpost.com/2024/07/consid…
