Huge thanks to @UrbanHistoryA and @ryanreft for the chance to talk about the @BTU66 Collections Project at @HealeyUMB. It's fun to share and celebrate this history one week after BTU reached a landmark tentative agreement AND hosted the @AFT convention!

"In fighting for racial and economic justice in the present, the union—its elected leaders, staff organizers, members, retirees—have proven willing to explore and confront the BTU’s history." @NickJuravich discusses @BTU66 archive for #DSS2022 themetropole.blog/2022/07/19… @lawcha_org

Among the many places he graced with his efforts and wisdom was @UMassBoston, where he was a lecturer in our College of Public and Community Service. @HealeyUMB holds the digitized transcripts of his interviews with Pullman Porters.

Today, I was helping a student at Burke High do research for his history paper about Franklin Field and we found this photo of the Franklin Field Spartans at @UMB_Archives. We both thought it was incredibly cool and now, I want to show it to everyone. openarchives.umb.edu/digital…

MWPC is excited to donate its archive to @UMassBoston, where the library archivists are assembling a collection of 20th century paper from women in MA politics. Women have fought hard to get a foothold in local and state politics--often without recognition.
