First leg of the China lecture trip is over. The Americanists from all over the country who came for my talks were impressive. Many had spent time in the U.S. and were taken by American higher education now under severe attack.

The history of abolition is so important in these dark days of the republic. They succeeded when enslavers controlled the entire federal government, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College and Congress through the three fifths clause. Join me tonight! www.gilderlehrman.org/itv-registra...

Eric Foner’s book launch party for Our Fragile Freedoms last weekend. Honored to have blurbed it and was so touched by his inscription when he is the gold standard as far as the history of Reconstruction is concerned.

Historian hereQuoted in an article for E&E News by Politico on erasing history. Statues celebrating proslavery Confederate traitors and Lost Cause mythology is not history and censoring and deleting our past is not saving history. A sad day when civil liberties and the Constitution is violated daily
