Third Person Project says a sorrowful goodbye to a frequent collaborator and, more important, true friend. The world officially knows a lot less about N.C. jazz. 'He taught me a lot': Wilmington civil rights leader, jazz scholar dies https://t.co/qDlDxqm2Pb via @StarNewsOnline

I want to make our world more like the Yudkowskian dath ilan utopia where instead of rich people's desire for wealth signaling going into wasteful zero sum crap, it goes into supporting public goods.

3rd Person’s work is making national headlines, including on CNN and BET, and in People Magazine and the NY Times. Our research builds on the work of generations of scholars and local history obsessives. We don’t get to say that often enough. Light is being shone on a vital story

The Third Person Project is honored to have pioneered the research that is currently making widespread news. Thank you to so many community members for coming out this past Sunday to the honorably funeral for the lives lost 123 years ago, especially Joshua Halsey.

This cemetery is where some people fled to escape the insurrectionist mob in 1898.

Some ppl fled to the swamp behind the cemetery. It had been unusually warm, so ppl were wearing summer clothes. When temps dropped 40 degrees, the elderly & babies died in the swamp. People were heard singing hymns to ward off their fear. —John Jeremiah Sullivan @ThirdPersonProj

#JohnJerimiahSullivan took the stage with the influential and talented @nikolehannahjones this past Tuesday to discuss the 1619 project, and Wilmington’s tainted history. An important conversation for UNCW’s writers week.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Most Americans have never been taught Wilmington massacre, just like the Tulsa massacre and dozens and dozens of others. These laws are not about ensuring accurate history, but erasing it.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I’m preparing to speak in the city where a race massacre destroyed a Black middle-class city & open white supremacists overthrew the elected bi-racial government in the only successful coup in US history, & this state tried to pass anti-history laws to stop us from remembering.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I’ll be speaking at *another* UNC tonight. Thank you for welcoming me.

[UNCW Writers Week @UncwW]

Long live this brilliant conversation @nhannahjones @ThirdPersonProj
