My latest @TIME @madebyhistory. I’ve been doing this long enough to know one shouldn’t read the comments, but…🤷🏻‍♂️ I am a historian. I’m guided by the archives. I’ve been rereading Trouillot for my grad seminar. And am grateful for his wisdom: “history is the fruit of power.”

the way kamala looked back after they started talking to each other is taking me out😭😭

FIU at AHA! What a joy to see FIU History alum Drs. Christopher Davis (Adelphi), Ricardo Pelegrin Taboada (Western Oregon), Micah Oelze (Adelphi), @Prof_Edwards (Univ. of Texas, El Paso), and Sven Kube (Coastal Carolina) at AHA 2025 in NYC! @AHAhistorians

Stop whatever you’re doing and read @_sashiee’s piece in @madebyhistory in @TIME! She writes about the long history of Black resistance and community in The Bahamas’s Junkanoo. Keep an 👁️ out for all she does. It’s 🔥! Congrats Sasha!

I appreciate so much of what he adds here. We discussed it in my public history grad seminar last night. It’s just not a nice statue & it obviously doesn’t come close to reflecting his skill for the game or his work for the community. Statues can come to life in many ways.

This song is so beautiful. Sade is such a treasure. ❤️🙏🏼
