Enjoyed visiting the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities at Northwestern and meeting Director Laura Brueck. From faculty fellowships to public humanities, their programs are an inspiring model for research and collaboration.

The @SmithsonianMag explores how artists are reimagining Harriet Tubman’s Civil War triumphs and stories long overlooked by mainstream history. So honored to see the powerful new exhibit at @theGibbesmuseum, which COMBEE inspired! https://t.co/ywKlHt8mw4

Tubman's 1863 raid, which destroyed seven plantations along the Combahee River in South Carolina and freed 756 enslaved laborers, is now the subject of an exhibition in Charleston
