The AHA encourages our members to contact your congressional representatives today through the @humanitiesall.bsky.social action alert, and urge them to save the NEH. 🗃️

I’ve been on NEH and IMLS review panels. Their commitment to wide-ranging and important research is built on the hard work of program officers and awards go through hours and hours of review by field experts. The shame of DOGE’s wasting all of this!! Love and gratitude to all NEH and IMLS workers

Honored to join Drs. Lonnie Bunch and Carla Hayden and 8 organizations in conversations about how we can connect more people to history.

Enjoyed talking with our local KC station about the connection between our city’s teams and our city’s history. www.kshb.com/sports/footb...

Today was the celebration of life for Freedom Rider Charles Person. The stories varied from monumental acts of courage to small gestures. One of his last acts was creating a training academy to share the lessons he and other civil rights veterans learned.

In this bonus episode of #HistoryInFocus, @davidtrowbridge.bsky.social speaks with Katharina Matro, Jeff McClurken, @kalanicraig.bsky.social, @joguldi.bsky.social, @johannneem.bsky.social, @thetattooedprof.bsky.social, and @nolauren.bsky.social on the topic of AI and its implications for history.🗃️

I miss the community of historians and other thoughtful people that once existed on Twitter. I hope to find that here.
