So glad I got to hear the fabulous @namoore — in Indy for the @ncph board meeting— speak yesterday to students in the IUPUI #Publichistory program. Tons of practical advice given, but I especially appreciated the inspiration & call to action. 1/5 
“What a time to be alive” (the talk’s alt title!)—Public History has a vitality and urgency right now that should not be taken for granted. “Find the chaos and dive in.” 2/5
People crave historical insight, but their lives are too busy to access scholarship; among other things, public historians can help digest and convey mountains of scholarship so audiences can plug in. So many “aha” moments follow. 3/5
A couple of key resources: Moore’s own interpretingslavelife.com and Julia Rose’s Interpretingdifficulthistory.com. @DiffHistoryBook
I was particularly inspired by the closing charge to “get people excited about changing the course of history.” Let’s get to it. 5/5
