Sand Creek Massacre memorial to replace Civil War statue at the Colorado State Capitol Colorado lawmakers voted unanimously to approve a 24-foot statue to commemorate the Sand Creek Massacre. It will replace a Civil War statue torn down in 2020.

"In front of descendants of Sand Creek Massacre survivors, Colorado lawmakers unanimously greenlighted a memorial sculpture Monday to commemorate the 1864 atrocity at the State Capitol." 🗃️ www.cpr.org/2025/04/15/s...

I just registered for the Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH) Triennial Conference at Bethune-Cookman University this June! Are you going?

Just Add Sparkling Grape Juice: Toasting and the Historical Imagination in the Early Republic Classroom - Commonplace As students write and perform toasts, they attempt to speak the (often combative) language of 1790's politics.

Inspired by Revolutionary Songs & Michelle Orihel's piece on Toasting, I had students write toasts or song lyrics based on Patriots' or Loyalists' perspectives. They worked in groups & had 15 minutes but they were creative, referenced specific historical themes or events & had fun. #teachingwin

My favorite way to start a trip. :)
Excited to see my fellow blue jacket historians in Annapolis soon.

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

And once you do have children, it doesn't get any easier...

Starting a new project:
“A sailor wife sat out on the shore,
& dreamed of a ship on the deep,
But her sailorman she saw no more,
For he slept in a sound, sound sleep...
The winds were sad & the waves were mild,
& the sea sang a story of life,
A lullaby 2 the sailor-child,
A wail 2 the sailor wife”

Celebrating a productive and successful SMH Conference Program Committee Meeting in NOLA with some beignet bites. We had a great group and the experience ended up being a lot of fun. Looking forward to Mobile in March!

Starting my whirlwind 36 hour trip to NOLA off right. There's nothing like conference planning and service work right in the middle of finals.

Today, I talked with the Columbus Scholars (a mentor program for mostly high school students from impoveroshed single parent households) about pirates, history, and tips for how to succeed in college. They were an impressive group!

No but I definitely want to learn more

Woke up, hugged my boys, and burst into tears.

#HurricaneHelene shifted enough to the East that we fared better than anticipated. We got some rain and 1 tiny tree knocked over but overall, we are in good shape.

No School today for anyone so I'm just chilling with my boys.

Hoping that everyone in the path stays safe and dry!
