My essay on quantification & lynching in Ida B. Wells, Mark Twain, & W. E. B. Du Bois is published here; excited to see it alongside these other, excellent articles.

Many thanks to the expert editorial staff at @amlitjournal! Indispensable help & encouragement at all stages.

@jillian_kern @ForemanSavannah Perhaps the source of this cherished gift, @KatieNWalker, can shed some light on the identity of the subjects or provenance of the work? (For my part, I always assumed that this family is trapped in the painting in some Dorian Gray / Harry Potter portrait curse.)

From a few years ago, but for anyone interested in what Arendt might say about her would-be statue patron.

@Carlos_A_Nugent @amlitjournal Yeah! Likewise. Was delighted to see your name pop-up with this award; look forward to reading the piece!

@Carlos_A_Nugent @amlitjournal Congratulations, Carlos!

@lpburrows So awful. On an election night of mixed emotions and results, seeing him succeed in NC was very sad indeed. The youngest member of congress and acts like it--a petulant child.

[Ben Murphy @benjmurph]

@upstaterica @majortominor Thank you for writing this. As horrific as this history is, it deserves exactly this level of precise contextualization. Glad to see so many excellent scholars cited, too. In particular, Goldsby's book is a masterpiece: it keeps giving no matter how many times I return to it.

@transbookhistry I believe the word derived from an early editor, not E.D. https://t.co/vqrLWgorlJ

[Ben Murphy @benjmurph]

@warthurw @ranjodhd For sure! In the meantime, I like forward to reading your essay!

@TravisMFoster @MLAconvention Ah! Got it. So I guess it's just a bit time-delayed. Thanks for the help!

[Ben Murphy @benjmurph]

Folks at #mla2021. I thought all sessions were being recorded so that participants could view videos 'on-demand,' but I can't find any recording/video links anywhere on the conference site.

Am I missing something? Are recordings simply not live yet? @MLAconvention
