.@CDCDirector - you MUST work with nurses and other health care workers to make #COVID19 testing guidelines that ensure safety for frontline workers and patients. #ProtectNurses with regular testing now!

@katarinahoven @Guggenheim @chaedria Following this thread and hoping to see a reply from the @Guggenheim

[⚫️nobody important @malakhstudios]

@Guggenheim So excited to hear that you'll be standing in solidarity with @chaedria!

So I assume the first justice you'll be demanding will be ending all the racism that ruined her experience working with you.

Right?

... right?

@cath_goulding Here's an example of a ghost story that I haven't found much truth too, Ramona. Here's
Popcorn Alley today. https://t.co/unzsF1YwjV #s55 #ncph2020

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

@cath_goulding Also you can walk by some of only remaining lower class brothels that exist today Telluride preserved three shacks, they used to line the street called Popcorn Alley https://t.co/wuvplQaWxx

@CarrieBond007 Thanks Carrie having a family cemetery is a JACKPOT! hope you're well too

@cath_goulding Found another article mentioning this lady's real name and the name she went by in Red Light district which did line up with Ghost Story. Relied a lot on local records and https://t.co/CLpAMyyPtG

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

@cath_goulding Found a hit that was essentially social column saying what a shame it was that men will play with women's emotions and cited death of a sex worker. (different name than in the ghost story)

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

@cath_goulding Then found that same name in church death records, listing her death as suicide by morphine (which was part of the ghost story) and her profession (Red Light District) listed as buried in our cemetery, but no headstone exists.

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

@cath_goulding Absolutely! Was looking forward to telling in more detail. #ncph2020

By…. holding Cemetery Tours! Who else does these? https://t.co/DnIgcmaDCH
Don’t need artifacts, gallery, exhibit schedule. Do need staff research time, printer, & cemetery. Our tours are consistently successful. Especially our three “Lamplight” Tours in Oct. #ncph2020

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

Thank you for bearing with me please feel free to email me [email protected] if you want more details on our other programs we base on genealogy. #s55 #ncph2020 thanks to all the presenters!

@TrideHistorical How do we tell these amazing stories to high volume of visitors w/ only 2 full time staff & few resources? (here's our museum! 1896 Hospital turned Museum) #ncph2020

[Theresa Koenigsknecht @TKhistarch7]

@AlHester12 @mchurchw1 @ncph @McCoolDamon Thank you so much all, your work is really inspiring! Thanks @mchurchw1 for organizing. I wish we could have all chatted and filled out our presentations in person, but next best thing
