“I realized that I had spent my whole life reading history books that never had anybody in them that looked like me, who had stories that were similar to mine or my parents...” professor @CountessCanuck said. “They’re there, but nobody’s written them.”

I mistrust folks who say they're "not political" even more than MAGATs, Kluckers, & the wannabe leaders of Gilead. They're either lying, or they're so apathetic & clueless they're helping to propel the agendas of the aforementioned. #politicalstand #Resist #grassroots #Blackpower
Small clip from the end of my talk at the @unecgh in Portland. Historical erasure is dangerous on multiple levels. Always. @pandelectures @pande_literary @UNC_Press @SonyaBonczek @DGershenowitz #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #Blackwomen #Slavery
This was such a powerful moment from Amrita Chakrabarti Myers' CGH lecture on "The Vice President's Black Wife." youtube.com/shorts/_mAhIt0W7…

Did you know: it wasn't illegal to teach enslaved people to read & write in 19c KY. This & other laws were used to support the myth that slavery was "kinder & gentler" in the Bluegrass State. It wasn't. Read The VPBW for more #BlackHistory #blackhistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth
Portland, I have no complaints! @unecgh @pandelectures @UNC_Press #juliachinn #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackWomen #BlackHistoryMonth2025 #BlackTwitter #Slavery

Last night was magic! Portland has been amazing (food, scenery, people). The wow factor, however, is when one of your girls drives 3 hours each way just to hear you speak! @MomOfGoddesses @UNC_Press @pandelectures #blackwomenshistory #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #juliachinn
What's good, #Portland?! Excited to be here. Come on out for my talk and book signing tomorrow evening at the @unecgh! @pandelectures @UNC_Press #juliachinn #blackhistory #BlackWomen #slaveryscholar @pande_literary @SonyaBonczek
