Bridging Memory and Community: The Archivist’s Role Beyond the Repository Recently, I had the opportunity to discuss my ongoing World War II research and highlight archival materials from the East Carolina Manuscript Collection (ECMC) at several community libraries across eastern North Carolina.

donald trump is giving a speech at a debate and says `` true '' . ALT: donald trump is giving a speech at a debate and says `` true '' .

So #USAirForce training footage of the Tuskegee Airmen, who were a group of early Black military #Pilots in the #SecondWorldWar, was removed (since reinstated after uproar) because of Trump's anti- DEI policies, so can this #Trump administration get any worse?
