Dec. 23, 1815: Henry Highland Garnet Born Henry Highland Garnet, abolitionist and minister, called for a militant slave revolt.

They have Garnet’s views & his militance right here but I cannot imagine this speech was given in public in Virginia during slavery. His school in New Hampshire was attacked for its views; imagine how much more violence they’d have seen in the South. #HATM www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/he...

Maybe it’s because I grew up poor in Virginia and North Carolina but these accents got me. They feel off for some reason. #HATM

Historian here interesting choices Catherine Beecher an anti abolitionist- feminist known for her crappy response to Angelina Grimke and into trad wife stuff. Booker T Washington publicly an accommodationist to the Jim Crow south and an opponent of WEB Bois’ civil rights activism. Kirk CC drop out!

I will do whatever I can to work with groups, who are interested in inviting me do a book talk about Robert Gould Shaw, but please don't tell me that the opportunity to sell my book is a sufficient honorarium. I am not independently wealthy.

I’m rereading this book from undergrad for a Southern history course and realizing maybe this is why I became interested in southern labor, civil war and reconstruction history…also this book is definitely going on my comps list. Also Eric Fonerβ€¦πŸ˜‚

A Friday happy hour toast to:

Bad Bunnyβ€”for his gorgeous joyous inclusiveness

Teal Robe Lady in Minnesotaβ€”for standing up for good & being a bad ass

Uncelebrated people around the USA helping neighbors. I celebrate you

Good teachers, librarians, & those standing tall for facts

We the People
