Award-winning historian. Professor Emerita living in the Queen City. I’ve written four books & I’m working on a fifth about the Rhythm Club fire of 1940. I ❤️ jazz.

Also how theaters on the circuit got ranked. From 1924. Black performers did not hold back. 😧

Every time I see those commercials, I yell "take a damn bath!" They've created a problem for the product. Unless we are all ignoring showers, it's ridiculous.

Today's must-read. Everything has a history, including yesterday's judicial coup on behalf of the executive, now possessing legal immunities that would be the envy of an absolute monarch.

When the League of the South was formed in 1994 they sought a "godly" nation run by white men. Here I discuss how the Lost Cause is used by political conservatives who use it to help them achieve white male patriarchy including power over women, minorities, etc.

I couldn't watch beyond the first hour. I saw what everyone saw and while I'll still vote for democracy come November, anyone sitting on the fence and who don't read broadly about what's at stake, likely made a decision last night for the lying authoritarian.

After an hour, I simply couldn't watch anymore. Biden didn't seem to have the energy to combat the lies Trump was spewing and, honestly, did not inspire confidence. Neither did Trump. I'll vote for democracy in November, but bloody hell that was hard to watch.

It's interesting that X still hasn't changed the links to reflect that. It's still a Twitter handle. I'm not there anymore, but noticed it when I looked at your list.

Dear Reporters,
If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job.

Gov. Kitten Heels (seen here demonstrating the size of his 🍆) vetoes arts grants that amount to less than 1% of the state budget. Racing to the bottom.

Ruth Schwartz Cowan wrote about this 30yrs ago in a book about new home technology at the turn of the 20thc. If you can do it faster, you can do more of it. That remains the expectation. Quicker & more of it until you’re ground down. #history

Headed to Atlanta today to speak with teachers & offer workshops at the Nat'l Center for Civil & Human Rights. Public history is critical to the enterprise of a truthful, unvarnished history, and I encourage you to share your expertise when invited to your local museum, historic site, etc. 🗃️
