AHA exec. director Sarah Weicksel & director of teaching & learning @bgillis.bsky.social were featured in a Washington Post article about the likelihood of AI replacing historians’ jobs. This suggestion, Weicksel said, is “a fundamental misunderstanding of what historians do & who historians are.” 🗃️

Today we celebrate the Voting Rights Act's 60th birthday! While the VRA has been dramatically weakened in the past 15 years, it remains among the crown jewels of the Civil Rights Movement. Understanding why it's so vital requires understanding its history and context. Time for a birthday thread...
