@MountStVincent So hard not to spoil this one yesterday...

This is why one studies the 20th century.

This personal letter from Ann Fisher of England, to her niece Esther Powell in Long Island (1808) is an excellent example of cross-writing (or cross hatching), a practice 19th-century letter writers used to save money on postage and paper.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we are posting every day this week with facts, tips, & important resources for mental health!! What an important topic this is & we are making it a priority in this campus community! #MentalHealthMatters 💚

@buzzkillprof @womnknowhistory @WorldWar2Pod @KevinMKruse Love using Chester Himes' If He Hollers, Let Him Go. There's also a very good collection of essays--a bit dated now--edited by Erenberg and Hirsch, The War in American Culture.
Also Robin Kelley's essay on "The Riddle of the Zoot" is fun to teach!

@SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @JamaalBowmanNY Affordability and accessibility are a priority for @MountStVincent. Your support to #DoublePell ensures students have access to an excellent education and transformed future - not only for them, but for the generations that follow.

No historian gets anything done without the help of archivists. A special #ArchivesTipOfTheHat to the wonderful folks who work in @scny1's extraordinary archives, right on our beautiful campus!

[Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky @lmchervinsky]

#OTD in 1776, Abigail Adams wrote her "Remember the Ladies" letter to her husband John, who was serving at the Continental Congress. As the delegates debated independence, she urged him to include women as citizens, as "all Men would be tyrants if they could." He declined.
