Honored to attend the ribbon cutting of the Slavery in Boston archaeological exhibit opening at Faneuil Hall.

This exhibit lays a crucial foundation for Boston to address our legacy of enslavement & support the healing process for our descendant communities.

@hkergrrl Amethyst glass, most likely Victorian

[Old North @OldNorth1723]

We are excited to announce that the Old North Foundation is adopting a new name: Old North Illuminated.

This name reflects our identity as an education-focused institution that is shining an analytical light on the past to help build a brighter future.

Hi @AmericanAir, agent Alice C. in Miami International was incredibly helpful and friendly with a difficult situation, please pass on our appreciation again! #alicemiami

Tomorrow on Radio Boston we're talking with @BostonArchaeo about a mysterious object with a fascinating -- and difficult -- history. Any guesses as to what this artifact might be? Hint: It's not a button.

Had an idea for how to rework my fiction book opening and now #amquerying again

@hkergrrl Low tide. Would be surprised if you didn’t find one

On the easel today: working on copies of originals by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Frederick Church

[Joe Bagley @idigboston]

Blown away: there are over 7,800 copies of my books running amok in the wilds of coffee tables, night stands, and bookshelves “out there.”Thank you @BrandeisPress and @RaminSue and team!

I’m on tonight!

[WCVB Chronicle @Chronicle5]

At 7:30 p.m. we’re on the hunt for hidden history. We stop by Brockton to see a historic fire engine, we take a stroll in search of Boston's oldest buildings & we visit actual relics of three Catholic saints tucked away among the storefronts inside the Prudential Center #WCVB

This is so hard!

Step back in time to another icy Boston Day! In the late 1890s, a city photographer took this photo of ice harvesting on Jamaica Pond. https://t.co/qo9n8esb0h @universalhub @HUBhistory @JPHistoricalSoc
