Search begins to find families of Black boys buried at abandoned Md. site Georgetown University has launched a research hub tasked with investigating the deaths and identities of children and teens who died in juvenile facilities nationwide.

Interesting research project at Georgetown. I can't wait to update my Spring Race and Campus Histories course syllabus to include this development.

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.

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
