Phillis Wheatley published her poetry in London because America refused to see her genius. Jefferson, who claimed her work was ‘below the dignity of criticism,’ was too busy building a mythology of freedom while exploiting enslaved people like Sally Hemings. The hypocrisy is staggering. #honesthistory #publichistory #howrevolutionary #patriotmyth #philliswheatley #thomasjefferson

Forget the Patriot Myth—freedom wasn’t won in ’76. The Philipsburg Proclamation turned the American War for Independence into a fight for liberation for thousands of enslaved people. By declaring freedom for any enslaved person who reached British lines, it marked the single greatest act of abolition in early American history. While the Patriots clung to slavery, Black Loyalists chose true independence, reshaping the Atlantic world forever. This is the untold story of the Revolution. #honesthistory #publichistory #americanrevolution #patriotmyth #historystorytelling #blackloyalists

Annette Gordon-Reed’s resignation from Monticello’s board and the naming of Jane Kamensky as president felt like a turning point a year ago. But in light of what’s unfolded at heritage sites since—compliance, silence, and sanitized narratives—it hits very different now. #publichistory #accountability #monticello #thomasjefferson #sallyhemings #gwmountvernon

The American Battlefield Trust calls these places “hallowed ground.” Fine. Let’s grant the premise—but let’s ask: why? What makes them “hallowed”? Is it just the blood spilled? Because if that’s all it takes, we could slap a plaque on any patch of earth soaked in human suffering and call it sacred. Or is it what they represent? And if so, let’s get honest about what that means. Are these places hallowed because they’re symbols of courage and sacrifice? Or because they’re sites of contradiction—where the ideals of freedom and equality, supposedly at the heart of America’s founding, were routinely crushed underfoot? If we’re honoring who fought, we’d better include the enslaved men who seized their freedom on British lines, the Native people defending their lands, and the loyalists who paid the price for their convictions. Are their stories being told? Or are we just selling myths to keep the checks rolling in? So: what makes these places “hallowed,” and who gets to decide? Because if we don’t answer that honestly, we’re just perpetuating the same old whitewashed history—only now with a glossy fundraising pitch. @American Battlefield Trust #honesthistory #publichistory #howrevolutionary #battlefields #hallowedhistory

History can inform modern politics, but using it to serve partisan agendas undermines its value. As a public historian and a former insider in Democratic Party politics, I know the difference. Public history should shape understanding and guide acts of principle, not push party strategy. I’m an anti-fascist, committed to fighting the forces of hate using every tool available, but partisanship isn’t necessarily the way. Influencing principles like justice and equity, and voting with memory, is essential; manipulating history for specific political purposes is not. #PublicHistory #HistoryMatters #Antifa #ethics #votewithmemory

Replying to @Lynne Thompson Newso To protect history, we’ve got to project it everywhere—especially the stories some want buried. Make videos, post online, tell the uncomfortable truths so they inform our future. #protecthistory #honesthistory #storytelling #publichistory @Black At You @Rachael Keri Williams
