Thank you Claudia Owusu for your beautiful love letter to black girlhood, black joy, and the importance of play; and for having UConn screen your film, Ampe.
I’m currently being harassed by a rando who calls to say how come colonization is viewed as bad when we are letting immigrants into the US & dems aren’t enforcing drug laws b/c FDR made his fortune in opium & Smithfield is biggest slave trader than the Atlantic slave trade
In honor of my advisor Lamin Sanneh and his monumental contributions to World Christianity. Revisiting Day Missions library at Yale where I (we, his students) toiled at our dissertations! Glad to honor and remember him in this way with his family and colleagues
Showed my 15yo daughter artists in , “we are the world,” song and she decides that Bruce Springsteen & Willie Nelson are the voices she is going try to copy. Laughed so hard, my throat now hurts. She now knows who Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers and Cindi Lauper. So much work to do!
Exhibit installation in Enfield!
Was double booked when i pulled up at my dealership and told them I really needed to work as I had a meeting in 8 mins; they said , “we can set you up in an office.”
So excited to be a panelist reflecting on where we have been and where we are going with African American history in Connecticut @ New Haven Museum.
Day 1,2,3,4 of museum building. I have never swept this much in my life or spent as much time at Home Depot!
Meanwhile, public history work also means replacing the floor at the museum and making friends at Home Depot.
Some days you find exactly what you are looking for in the archives. African school in Hartford courtesy of CT Museum of Culture and History “Anticolonizationism is taught earnestly.” But then the teacher left for Liberia so this should be an part of the interesting article.
This has got to be the best intersection of history , art and augmented reality for 2024. Kinfolk foundation please come to CT. More monuments to mermaids than women political leaders; Seriously!
Tapestry; chatgpt’s favorite word in my student’s AI generated essays. The Sahara desert is apparently a rich tapestry of vibrant colors and cultures.
The Lloyd Best archive —an act of love, resistance, & activism— and a key collaboration between a Trinity & the Lloyd Best Institute. A model of Caribbean intellectual stewardship and preservation! Epistemic sovereignty=post custodial archival practices!
So glad to be part of CHS’s history and it’s transition to Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.
So pleased that my UConn undergrad SHARE interns are representing history research on Puerto Rican migration to Hartford. Thank you Remi Dupuis and Ben Pitruzzello for your passion and engagement as well as the hist advisor, the indefatigable Heather Parker
Hartford’s North End residents continue fight against out of state landlords ctpublic.org/news/2023-10-0…
So pleased to unveil EPOCH’s monument to Black soldiers who fought in the Civil War and are buried in Hartford’s Old North Cemetery. Thanks to @UConnHistory, City of Hartford, and Hartford Communities that Care.
Found this hard hitting visual today in the archives, from activists pushing back against redlining and racial steering in the suburbs in the 70s. Thanks to the Hartford History Center, Hartford Public Library, Boyd Hines Collection.

I was reminded of this bc I heard recently that another family lost their son to DIPG. And I am reminded, weeping, that only community makes this sort of grief bearable. And sometimes that community consists of strangers who become friends through acts of extraordinary kindness.
This is an important piece from @DainaRameyBerry that makes us rethink the U.S. education system’s disregard for the history of Africa in our understanding of African American history and the African Diaspora at-large. forbes.com/sites/dainaram…

From this beautiful place, an estimated 760,000 enslaved men, women, and children were sent to the Americas. Not a single remembrance site to those shipped to the Americas - nor those who remained in captivity in Benguela and surrounding areas.
