"History is not about the past; it is about arguments we have about the past. And because it is about arguments that we have, it is about us." — Ira Berlin, The Long Emancipation.
RIP Ira Berlin (1941-2018). Historian and Professor Emeritus at University of Maryland. I met him only once when he attended my Slavery Seminar at Howard. His work influenced at least three generations of scholars of slavery and will continue impacting the field.
