Endeavoring to write and teach the history of Afro America (and, more lately, that of the urban south). Want to be like the folks in the header. They're tough.

This will be well worth your time.

[Catmumu小課堂 @JasmineCDillard]

Last Saturday @RiceUniversity for the @librarycongress with @AlexanderXByrd's The Historian's Lens Workshop.💗 the QR Codes & 4 Corners debate on the Dr. Rev. E. K. Love's Lynching Sermon! @J_Filipow @BrewtonHistory @TammyRussell74 @fmensahSSTDS made some great arguments!

@BrewtonHistory @HISDSocStudies I am grateful to have had this opportunity. Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this undertaking.

[Alexander X. Byrd @AlexanderXByrd]

@kemhist281 “Leading” a workshop for @HISDSocStudies teachers always turns into their leading me in a workshop. Will be using the insights of @kemhist281 and others the next time I teach E. K. Love and Ida B. Wells to Rice undergraduates.

This evening from inside a classroom building constructed in the late seventeenth century, I’ll reflect on race and power in twentieth and twenty-first century Houston schools.

@cacayne Thanks! As with every talk, I’m just hoping to get out alive! 😬

@higgsf @RiceHumanities I thought I might miss traffic on the Southwest Freeway but lane closures ensured that it was very much like heading home at 5:30 p.m. Thanks @TxDOT!

Took communion at home today with apple juice and a blueberry muffin from my favorite cafe. It was a good day.
