I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

Great episode with @mfkantor.bsky.social, author of DARE TO SAY NO: Policing and the War on Drugs in Schools 👏

We’ve Never Agreed About George Washington and Slavery Removing a slavery exhibit in Philadelphia revives a 250-year-old American debate.

The removal of the slavery exhibit from the President's House site might feel unprecedented, but nothing could be further from the truth. We've been fighting over slavery's place in George Washington's legacy for 250 years. I wrote about it for @time.com.
