“I realized that I had spent my whole life reading history books that never had anybody in them that looked like me, who had stories that were similar to mine or my parents...” professor @CountessCanuck said. “They’re there, but nobody’s written them.”

I mistrust folks who say they're "not political" even more than MAGATs, Kluckers, & the wannabe leaders of Gilead. They're either lying, or they're so apathetic & clueless they're helping to propel the agendas of the aforementioned. #politicalstand #Resist #grassroots #Blackpower

Small clip from the end of my talk at the @unecgh in Portland. Historical erasure is dangerous on multiple levels. Always. @pandelectures @pande_literary @UNC_Press @SonyaBonczek @DGershenowitz #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #Blackwomen #Slavery

Did you know: it wasn't illegal to teach enslaved people to read & write in 19c KY. This & other laws were used to support the myth that slavery was "kinder & gentler" in the Bluegrass State. It wasn't. Read The VPBW for more #BlackHistory #blackhistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth

Last night was magic! Portland has been amazing (food, scenery, people). The wow factor, however, is when one of your girls drives 3 hours each way just to hear you speak! @MomOfGoddesses @UNC_Press @pandelectures #blackwomenshistory #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #juliachinn
