@jbf1755 Elizabeth Chew is a consummate professional. She and the rest of the staff should be reinstated. The Board should be dissolved, and reconstituted after some serious soul searching.

This is shocking—and requires investigating.
These curators & historical experts do remarkable work on the history of slavery at Montpelier.
They have collectively over 50 years of experience at Montpelier & 100 years in their fields.

This is outrageous. I worked with @ElizabethChew when I had a fellowship at ICJS, and she is a model professional, a generous colleague and a brilliant scholar. @The_OAH @AHAhistorians time to raise a ruckus.

@KevinLevin Elizabeth Chew exemplifies the professionalism of someone willing to stand on her principles. She and her colleagues deserve better. They should be reinstated and the Board dissolved and reconstituted after some serious soul-searching.

This is shockingly unprofessional. The Board of Montpelier is undoing years of important work to recognize the histories of the people enslaved at Montpelier--by firing the staff and dismissing the inclusion of descendants of the enslaved.

Montpelier is the process of firing the very staff that make them relevant.

Thanks to the National Trust for Historic Preservation @SavingPlaces for their clear and strong statement condemning the board actions at @JMMontpelier. @JMMdescendants and staff had pioneered parity and equity. They lit the light. savingplaces.org/press-center/m…

Let's swap slide decks! Let the fun begin....

Raise your voice and protest the unconscionable firing of Montpelier's professional staff, for standing up for the voices of descendants of the plantation's enslaved people. This is white patriarchy at its worst.

Senior staff members at the historic Montpelier estate of James Madison were fired Monday, in what they called retaliation for speaking out on behalf of descendants of enslaved Black people fighting for parity on the foundation board. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…

This is an incredibly wrong-headed effort by the Montpelier board to silence the descendants of enslaved people on the plantation. There is a change.org petition to reverse this decision. I urge you to read this, and make your voice heard.

This is deeply concerning. “They really want a narrative that’s restricted to nothing that’s negative about James Madison…What the board is doing is tearing down Montpelier brick by conceptual brick and having one story remain.” washingtonpost.com/history/2022/0…

Here is the link to the petition objecting to the Montpelier board's decision to silence the descendants of enslaved people from having a meaningful say in the interpretation of the site.
English
Montpelier's board was on the verge of breaking new ground in acknowledging the enslaved people who labored there...and then lost their nerve. Shame.
English
@agordonreed Not to mention, Jada was sitting right there. Presumably quite capable of standing up for herself? Yet another example of toxic masculinity, masquerading as chivalry.

Okay it was a slap, and the film suggests he did make contact. I’m stunned.

Was that punch real?
