And here’s part one of a big rangey 4th of July conversation with @pastpunditry.bsky.social @kcarterjackson.bsky.social on how the America250 process is being MAGA-fied, the Trump vision of US history — and why the way we tell history reflects so much about the present youtu.be/JBb1NI0k6G4?...

On CBS Mornings talking about Juneteenth! So happy my mom could join me in the studio. I loved hearing Nate saying, "Hey Mama!"

Happy Free-ish Day! 😉✊🏾❤️ @Wellesley @cbsmornings.bsky.social @thisdaypod.com

Thank you friend. ✊🏾❤️🙏🏾Keep refusing...

We Refuse An “unsparing, erudite, and incisive” (Jelani Cobb, staff writer, The New Yorker) reframing of the past and present of Black resistance—both nonviolent...

Let me say: my pal and @thisdaypod.com cohost @kcarterjackson.bsky.social wrote a fantastic book all about how resistance and refusal has taken many, often intermingling, approaches, including violence… “Non-violent” vs “violent” protest is just not a useful binary www.sealpress.com/titles/kelli...

Ayeeeeee! So honored! Congratulations to my fellow Long-listers! This is great news! If you haven't picked up "We Refuse# yet... I hear it makes a great Mother's Day gift!

Review | Slavery broke apart families. After Emancipation, how did they reunite? In ”Last Seen,” historian Judith Giesberg explores how formerly enslaved people tried to reunite with their lost loved ones through advertisements.

Wrote a review of Judy Giesberg's newest book, "Last Seen." It's so powerful and a testament to Black enduring love. I hope you'll check it out.

Well done Judy, well done!
