My latest @TIME @madebyhistory.

I’ve been doing this long enough to know one shouldn’t read the comments, but…🤷🏻‍♂️

I am a historian. I’m guided by the archives.

I’ve been rereading Trouillot for my grad seminar. And am grateful for his wisdom: “history is the fruit of power.”

Stop whatever you’re doing and read @_sashiee’s piece in @madebyhistory in @TIME! She writes about the long history of Black resistance and community in The Bahamas’s Junkanoo.

Keep an 👁️ out for all she does. It’s 🔥!

Congrats Sasha!

I appreciate so much of what he adds here. We discussed it in my public history grad seminar last night.

It’s just not a nice statue & it obviously doesn’t come close to reflecting his skill for the game or his work for the community.

Statues can come to life in many ways.
