Hey @Georgetown: Join me, Meg Leta Jones, and Kate Chandler--two of our most awesome colleagues, also smart enough to avoid Twitter--for a convo on my new book on Monday, 4/11, IRL in @TheLannanCenter.

Meet Smithsonian Sunburst 175th, an orchid celebrating our #Smithsonian175. It is the result of careful breeding by generations of orchid growers starting in 1895. This beauty is an example of the hard work and care for which our @SIGardens team is known.
ALT An African American man, Lonnie G. Bunch III, stands in the interior courtyard of a museum. In his hands, a blue pot with "Smithsonian 175" logo and a yellow and orange orchid in bloom with seven flowers on it. He wears a face mask and windbreaker.

Is there ever a weirder and funnier moment than when an AMST class takes a sharp turn into really caring about what imported english pigs did? Nope.

Dear Students—
I am sorry to report that our first class meeting is canceled. My work pants, which I have not worn since March 2020, no longer fit.
Best wishes,
BH

Thank you so much, Eric!!!!
Amazing to see watch former @streetsensedc reporter @maybemeena present her thesis on "historic" vs "historic preservation" by looking at what happened in tenants' last-ditch effort at Barry Farm.
It grew out of her work on this story streetsensemedia.org/article…
Well done, Meena!👏🏼

One of my students, Yaritza Aguilar (C’22), was recognized by @gtownlibrary w/the Voters' Choice Award for her amazing StoryMap for my spring '21 History of American Gentrification course (@GeorgetownAMST @GUHistory) on “Community Control & Gentrification in NYC.” Go Yaritza!
