This is the culmination of 50 years of work. In the 1970s, the anti-abortion mvt in Oklahoma was small and all Catholic. They had to try to “speak Protestant” to get evangelicals to care. Fast forward: the mvt has a political party and a Court parroting their core arguments.

Haha, I have this same interaction pretty frequently😂
I am continually surprised when I tell people that I am a historian, they just assume I like all history. Like “No Chad, I am not interested in ancient Rome. Go have a time out.”

Battlefields, concentration camps, Chernobyl, catacombs, haunted houses, Rwandan and Cambodian genocide memorials: All are now sites of “dark tourism.”

Thanatourism, as one scholar calls it, has a long history. And some historic sites of mass death do offer thoughtful educational experiences.

On episode two of Western Edition: The West on Fire, we talk about Smokey Bear! Where did he come from? How did he become a beloved children’s character, a working-class hero, a countercultural icon, and a symbol of government overreach, all in one? 🎧: https://t.co/oQok1Xt7pF
