Really looking forward to this event! The passage of the Page Act in 1875 is a pivotal moment in U.S. immigration history. Hear more about it from experts in the field 👇🏽

The @oah.org Annual Conference on American History is just a few days away and we can't wait to see all of our members and friends in Chicago. Check out the lineup of meet-ups, panels, roundtables, and seminars we've got planned for #OAH25!

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

The transcript of the interview between Stanton/Sherman and Savannah's Black leaders is one of my favorite sources to teach Reconstruction with. It was a treat to find the spot where it happened.

Awesome to see Irish Studies at my alma mater! Congrats BSU and @ellenscheible.bsky.social on this collection.

10 years in, I remain beyond grateful for my 4-4 tenured gig.

But the issues of access and networking are real. Received yesterday another list of journals we're losing access to; professional society dues come out of pocket; and conference travel funds will cover about a tank of gas and a meal.
