This will be well worth your time.

Listening to an amazing group of scholars and @DukeHistoryDept PhD alumni today at The Common Wind, a symposium to honor Julius Scott (PhD'86). @DukeFSP @DukeAlumni

Last Saturday @RiceUniversity for the @librarycongress with @AlexanderXByrd's The Historian's Lens Workshop.💗 the QR Codes & 4 Corners debate on the Dr. Rev. E. K. Love's Lynching Sermon! @J_Filipow @BrewtonHistory @TammyRussell74 @fmensahSSTDS made some great arguments!

@BrewtonHistory @HISDSocStudies I am grateful to have had this opportunity. Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this undertaking.

@kemhist281 “Leading” a workshop for @HISDSocStudies teachers always turns into their leading me in a workshop. Will be using the insights of @kemhist281 and others the next time I teach E. K. Love and Ida B. Wells to Rice undergraduates.

Pretty safe to say that I miss college. Five pages of notes in an hour and a half. #historynerd #lecturenotes #dralexbyrd #hisd #libraryofcongress #workingonasaturday #myhandwillfalloff #notes #getonmylevel

@J_Filipow @librarycongress @HISDSocStudies @HISD_Curric Working with @HISDSocStudies is always a great pleasure. Proud to be an #HISD parent and alumnus.

Today we kicked off our Developing Disciplinary Literacy Grant with Dr. Alex Byrd! We explored lynch law in the American South through the historian’s lens using @librarycongress resources. @HISDSocStudies @HISD_Curric

Fantastic!

@keshawnrants Fantastic!

@neilwillard Oh my.

This evening from inside a classroom building constructed in the late seventeenth century, I’ll reflect on race and power in twentieth and twenty-first century Houston schools.

@cacayne Thanks! As with every talk, I’m just hoping to get out alive! 😬

@higgsf @RiceHumanities I thought I might miss traffic on the Southwest Freeway but lane closures ensured that it was very much like heading home at 5:30 p.m. Thanks @TxDOT!

Leaving the office at 10:30pm and my @RiceHumanities colleague @AlexanderXByrd scared the bajeebees out of me. He was knocking out some imp things as well.

Exciting news! This week, @RiceUniversity launches the Center for African and African American Studies, led by founding director @anthony_pinn. Join us Oct. 16 at 5:30 in the @RiceHumanities courtyard to officially welcome our new center to campus! news.rice.edu/2019/10/14/ric…

@keshawnrants Fro Level, I’m convinced, is a state of mind.

@keshawnrants Pro Fro.

Took communion at home today with apple juice and a blueberry muffin from my favorite cafe. It was a good day.

@EJohnsonHISD @RiceUniversity @HISDSocStudies @HamiltonMS1 I can’t wait to meet everyone (seasoned BHS colleagues and new ones)!

I am definitely looking forward to the 2019 Black Humanities Seminar next month!! @RiceUniversity...thank you @HISDSocStudies @AlexanderXByrd @HamiltonMS1 #RiceUniversity #BlackHumanitiesSeminar
