After discovering the bones of thousands of slaves while constructing an airport on the island, Annina van Neel is now working to preserve some history of the transatlantic slave trade. theguardian.com/world/video/20…
Check out this article from The @guardian about the effort to honor the Africans buried on St. Helena. The article sheds light on the challenges of preserving the memory of these buried slaves and the fight to ensure their stories are not forgotten. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…
Awww, thank you! I hope you enjoy reading COMBEE!

The U.S. Postal Service is honoring 10 courageous individuals, including Harriet Tubman, with stamps commemorating their roles in guiding enslaved people to freedom via the Underground Railroad! I can’t wait to get my new stamps.
Researchers at North Carolina’s Office of State Archaeology have made a fascinating discovery: the archaeological remains of the hydraulic irrigation system in the rice fields near Wilmington, NC, which enslaved laborers built by hand. newsweek.com/archaeologists…
Check out this article from The @guardian! A homeowner's discovery of a mass grave beneath their house sheds light on a haunting piece of history. The cemetery was used to bury enslaved people who died on ships that arrived at the port of Rio de Janeiro. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
The @pittsburghpostgazette recently reviewed COMBEE! Writer Tahirah J. Walker says, “It is clear evidence of the strength and ingenuity Black folks exalted in.” You can read the full review here: post-gazette.com/ae/books/2024/…
The Civil War Monitor says, "Combee is a transcendent, once-in-a-generation historical exploration”! Check out the full review here: civilwarmonitor.com/fields-black-c…
Wil Haygood, author of "The Butler: A Witness to History" was my instructor at a summer nonfiction workshop sponsored by @HurstonWright before I knew I was writing COMBEE. It was transformative to my storytelling. There would be no COMBEE without Wil Haygood and @HurstonWright!
Check out this fascinating piece from The Nation, shedding light on the Combahee River Collective. It's a great read that dives into the collective's legacy and impact. @TheBarbaraSmith thenation.com/article/societ…
Huge thanks to @KCliffLarson, renowned Harriet Tubman scholar and author of "Bound for the Promised Land," for your generous review of my book! Your expertise and support are truly invaluable. Thankful for your recognition!
NPR’s Consider This podcast discussed how the Underground Railroad got its name. Listen to the untold stories behind Harriet Tubman and the legendary network that helped enslaved people find freedom. npr.org/2024/02/26/119…

The perception of early photography in West Africa often revolves around a colonial lens, but a new book challenges this narrative. "Portrait and Place: Photography in Senegal, 1840-1960" by Giulia Paoletti uncovers lost stories. cnn.com/2024/03/01/sty…
Grateful for the kind words from Dr. Tonya Matthews, President and CEO of the @iaamuseum, about my book! Your support means the world to me. Thank you for recognizing the importance of this work!
Many Black Americans are tracing their ancestry, a journey that resonates deeply with me as I’ve found my great great great grandfather, a liberator in the Combahee River Raid. Stories like this one reinforce the importance of preserving history: 13newsnow.com/article/news/l…
Carole Boyce Davies giving the closing keynote on day two of Global Visions of Freedom: A Symposium on Black Internationalism organized by @KeishaBlain and @ShaunArmstead. It was a fabulous two days.
I’m so grateful to be highlighted by @CarnegieMellon. I feel blessed to work where my research and accomplishments are supported! @CMU_DietrichHSS cmu.edu/news/stories/a…
Renowned sculptor Alvin Pettit is creating a monumental sculpture honoring Harriet Tubman in Philadelphia! The 15-foot clay sculpture, titled "A Higher Power," captures Tubman's resilience and courage. Read more in The Baltimore Banner: thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/arts/h…
