Really excited about this panel discussion of "In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower"! Gonna be one heck of a panel.

#AAIHS2021 Martha Biondi kicks off the conversation about "In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower" by looking at how the growth of the university has exacerbated issues of policing, racism, and other urban problems. #AAIHS2021

Tonight's #USIH2021 panel is being chaired by @aklumpp this evening, and features Kate Masur, @angusburgin, Josh Piker, and Veronica Martinez-Matsuda. @angusburgin, speaking as editor of @MIHJournal, talks about key tips about journal articles--is it written clearly? Does it involve an original argument and original, primary source research? Can we think of good reviewers for the paper--3 reviewers often for each piece.

I believe I have tweeted about this before--in fact I'm sure of it--but it's amazing to think about how much violence in the Deep South from 1965 through 1970 just gets left out of the broad, national narrative of that era.

Orangeburg 1968
Jackson State 1970
Augusta 1970 There's the murder of Sammy Younge, Jr. in 1966.

On the anniversary of Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois' passing in 1963, I'd like to post a few links to works of mine--and others--about him.

First, this piece for @jacobinmag about his magnum opus, *Black Reconstruction in America.* jacobinmag.com/2018/08/web-du…

#twitterstorians #USIH There's also the talk I did with @micahuetricht about the political legacy of Du Bois:
