My most recent research piece for The Historic New Orleans Collection- Canceled Carnival!

[The Historic New Orleans Collection @visit_hnoc]

This morning, @CityOfNOLA announced that Mardi Gras parades will not roll in 2021, due to COVID-19. In the past, pandemics, wars, and political and racial violence have all prevented celebrations from taking place. https://t.co/rPKZKqfjHX

From virtual parades to “house floats,” New Orleanians are responding to the challenge of how to safely celebrate Carnival in a pandemic. https://t.co/mu3z66Oxvv

Many think of the struggle for Black civil rights as beginning in the 1950s or ‘60s. But there was a movement unfolding 100 years earlier, in New Orleans, in French. https://t.co/3oLB5dAt7p

@refdeskATX @UTiSchool Thanks Eric!!! DEFINITELY flip through the album, so many cool images I didn't get to include & I love the text pages- especially that history of the Panama Canal.

Oh look it's a textbook example of how capitalism and imperialism intersect and are often THE SAME DAMN THING.

Check out my most recent research dive into a fascinating object in the archives where I work. Yellow fever, quarantines, public health, bananas, and an octopus...

What would an infamously powerful company do when criticized by New Orleans health officials amid a yellow fever outbreak? Take them on a weeks-long, all-expenses-paid tour of the company’s Central American facilities.

These @Tipitinas posters tell the story of how the beloved club got its raucous start in the late 1970's NOLA R&B revival. Check out my latest article to see them yourself! @visit_thnoc

They're not illegal. They're undocumented. Humans cannot be illegal. They're not contraband. They're people. #DayWithoutImmigrants

Immigrants aren't illegal because they want to be. Not enough spots. No reasonable path to citizenship. $7,000 process #DayWithoutImmigrants

💵 is corrupting political and journalistic process. Fake News for ratings = advertisers. Legislation for donors = contributions. #infoneeds

I've gone to fabulous #publicschools my entire life. DeVos doesn't represent me, and neither do my elected leaders, apparently. #DeVosvote
