I really needed a sign today that what I do as a historian matters. I did not expect to literally see a sign. On the sidewalk. And in the window. Hooray for local bookstores! Water Street Bookstore totally made my day! 🗃️ @uncpress.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social

It's Constitution Day! Hello from Rhode Island, which by popular referendum rejected the Constitution and only agreed, very grudgingly, in 1790 and w addenda on rights.
