Great, now I’ve gotta revise my manuscript on masculinity and the public memory landscape

Had fun watching with y'all and getting my spirit back! Now I just have to find a way to watch Liberation #HATM

Later in her life, Paul was annoyed by second wave feminists and their many demands. #HATM #SUFFS

BEPA has a jail door pin. It belonged to artist Betsy Graves Reyneau, who passed it on to Pauli Murray when she died. We made a zine about it for middle-grade students #HATM nowandhere.org/projects/sis...

Suffragists burning Wilson in effigy. #HATM #SUFFS

Speaking of suffrage memorials - the centennial in 2020 brought a wave of markers. The National Collaborative for Women's Historical Sites put up many #Suffs markers and created a map to crowd source others. ncwhs.org/votes-for-wo... #HATM

Thank you, #Suffs! I have been up in arms vs people who confuse SUFFRAGIST & suffragette my whole career! #HATM

Hopping on the #HATM tonight for Suffs! I’ve been working with folks at the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument (BEPA) - the former headquarters of NWP and the longtime home of Alice Paul - for the last two years. Many of the objects there helped inspire some of the lyrics in the show.

As we ramp up this 250th moment, check out what my colleagues and I have been working on for the last 3 years as Mellon Fellows. Browse our projects to see how we're brining new perspectives to our collective past and fighting back against public history censorship. #skystorians nowandhere.org

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Pure chaos

Check out this super cool piece on this history of the NPS Belmont-Paul House by @caitlynjones.bsky.social www.nps.gov/articles/000... 🗃️

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Before NPS terminated its agreement with my program, I planned to write about Pauli Murray on my park’s site using language about gender identity from the Pauli Murray Center. Quickly learned from the higher ups that it wasn’t going to happen.

BTW, the LGBTQ Heritage Theme Study is still up so download it while you can! Its a lot of great info including stories of individuals and sites and how to go about doing respectful research. 🗃️ www.nps.gov/subjects/tel...

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Resistance and pushback can work, y’all. Don’t obey in advance.

Happy Turkey Day from Elliott Erwitt

We need public history practice now more than ever. We must foster critical thinking, facilitate difficult dialogue and center human dignity. We must believe, support, and empower people whose lived experiences are marginalized and dismissed. We must preserve connection and community. And we will.

Hey y’all 👋 Feels like the first day of school again
