Panelists talk about how we have to be comfortable being uncomfortable in talking about hard histories. Balance self care and doing this hard work.
We must use our anger and balance it with hope. We need to find value in what makes us feel anger and pain and discomfort.

There is power in hearing in the Witte Museum's Dr. Michelle Cuellar Everidge assert unequivocally that Texas was built on the economy of slavery...especially in the current moment where the politicization of history does not guarantee us access to these fundamental truths.

Dr. Kimberlyn Montford sharing about spirituals as texts, and I love that she doesn't even need media, she just uses her own voice to sing her examples. She's talking about three kinds of spirituals - sorrowful songs, joyful songs, and coded songs to share info.

A very cool panel on land, law, and slavery made up with my colleague Teresa Van Hoy and one of our alums Eddie Paniagua at the Witte Museum's Conference on Texas. They're joined by Ronald W. Davis II and Sandra Ogogor

It's really wonderful to hear a sort of state of the field talk targeted to a broader public audience.

Yesterday I went to a preview event at the Witte Museum for an upcoming conference focused on the ongoing legacies of slavery in Texas on December 5 and 6. They have scholarships for students and teachers and notably includes a keynote by Annette Gordon-Reed!

In a rewarding stage of filling in historiographical context into book mss, but also feels so counterintuitive to be diving back into secondary AND primary sources late in the game!
This week I've been working to fill in some context on policing in the 70s.
