On April 27, 1961, Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke at the UAW 25th anniversary convention in Detroit. Before an audience of more than five thousand UAW members, MLK spoke words that remain entirely too relevant today… a thread 1 #UAWStrike @MLKInstitute

I stand today for people who have challenged racism + unfair decision making only to be given non-reappointments. The way forward is collective action. We aren’t going anywhere until we achieve #TheVTWeDeserve. - Brandy Faulkner, Everybody's Unionizing! ucwva.org/join-us

The perspective of the Florida Department of Education is that students cannot learn anything about history that might lead them to question existing social arrangements so, you know, they can't learn anything. #storylink=cpy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…

I almost never go back and use what I put in my “edited out” document. But the idea that I CAN go back and reuse it always makes me feel a lot better about cutting stuff that needs to go but that I’ve already spent a long time working on
C. E. Aubin?@ceaubin

Genuinely, my main dissertation writing tip for PhD students (or anyone!) is to make an additional document for each of your chapters, and then paste everything you cut out into it. Cannot describe how many times I went back and retrieved things I thought I’d never use.

My very first exhibition at the National Museum of American History opens on July 5th! It's called Reconstructing Weatherbreak: Geodesic Domes in an Age of Extreme Weather. Come watch us build one of the earliest such architectural marvels in the world inside the museum!

My @NewBooksNetwork interview with @joshshepperd about his book "Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting" (@IllinoisPress , 2023) is live! #Radio #MediaHistory #PublicBroadcasting #NewBook newbooksnetwork.com/shadow-of-the-…
Josh Shepperd@joshshepperd

“Shadow of the New Deal” is featured at @NewBooksNetwork today. This is cool in itself. Even cooler, my interview is listed under the category of “General History.”
