Book cover with African American youth marching along side Civil War veterans in a parade.

African American veterans and their families and communities were essential to sustaining Black Civil War memory over the late 19th century and twentieth century. I discuss my own ancestor and others in Unforgettable Sacrifice. I proudly remembered them yesterday.

With a book talk later this evening, I am catching up on some campus history work and grading. #2025SHA was a very affirming break with other historians. Back to reality. #amwriting #campushistory

I received great feedback on my Alaska project at BrANCH. I can't wait to get back to writing. Too much stuff has to do first. But, I have clarity.

London is calling! I am excited to be in community with US & UK scholars at Cardiff for BrANCH 2026. I'm excited to discuss the totality of 19th C US History and present for the first time on my Black Reconstruction in Alaska research. #amwriting

Congratulations! I can't wait to read it!

Yes, I can definitely be persuaded to join. It will be a ton of fun.

As I prepare for an Alaska research trip, I'm wrapping up some campus history research projects and drafting letters of support for T&P and promotions to full. This daily work might seem mundane; however in this current moment, it is so important. Summer break is drawing to a close. #amwriting
