I was sickened when I saw this move today. It is National Park land so guessing there isn't anything Philly can do, maybe set up a display outside the NP land?

Finished writing or finished reading?

I was in Philly a few years ago. Loved most everything about it. Especially the history. It's not being erased. It happened. They just want everything uncomfortable to be hidden. We will remember.

I did their summer program for history undergrads when I was a freshman in college, it was my first sign that I might actually be good at this history thing! Would love to do a book talk with them.

Your press sent me a request to interview you on Unsung History before I had a chance to email you for the ARC. 😀

Will do!

@inquirer.com just sent me an article about this as well! They have it posted if you want to connect with more people

If You want to chronicle something that is dear to the hearts of #mils of Citizens, write about: "WHAT HAPPEN TO ALL THE VALUBLE ARTIFACTS&PRICELESS HISTORICAL AMERICAN TREASURES FORMERLY IN,THE EASTWING"? Where did it"ALL"GO, to "Mar-a-Lago"? To be seen"Nevermore, Nevermore"...amirite"Edgar Allan"?

Slavery was a huge part of America for centuries. A history that omits slavery is dishonest.

Legit funniest thing to come out of this situation

One more example of why we need that edit feature here!

You'd think I'd have learned some important lessons about proof reading recently...

Thanks so much!

Thank you. Americans have been struggling with that ambiguity since Washington was still alive!

i wouldn’t lose any sleep waiting no society has ever been failed by an institution more completely than the american people have been failed by the collaborationist court media

Look forward to your book! Started Chernow’s book but couldn’t finish due to the apologist take on Washington as a slave owner, including a passage balancing Washington selling slaves that aggravated him into certain death in the Caribbean against him allowing one slave to have a last name.

My talk there was up against the new Barbie exhibit, which was tough competition.

Let The Inquirer know.

Looking forward to the book!

finished an entire book? So you read the whole thing? Kidding! Sounds great: will devour.

I’m finishing up The Pursuit of Happiness right now and had some timely questions that your book may address perfectly. Good luck with it!

As my sister slipped into MAGA, when I mentioned Washington had beat his slaves, she didn't want to hear it. This, to me, is what this is all about--deliberate obfuscation of Washington and his role in slavery.

Lol I thought it'd be my posts about the actual book, not this one, that gained traction!! Woulda thought about it longer...

I feel like you and @hcrichardson.bsky.social would have a great conversation if you ever met for coffee.

Fight crime. Shoot back.
