Panelists talk about how we have to be comfortable being uncomfortable in talking about hard histories. Balance self care and doing this hard work.
We must use our anger and balance it with hope. We need to find value in what makes us feel anger and pain and discomfort.
So grateful to all of the historians, artists, storytellers, and organizations for sharing their knowledge with us this week!
There is power in hearing in the Witte Museum's Dr. Michelle Cuellar Everidge assert unequivocally that Texas was built on the economy of slavery...especially in the current moment where the politicization of history does not guarantee us access to these fundamental truths.
Do we celebrate or commemorate Juneteenth? How and why? Do we discuss hard questions on that day or put them aside. AGR digs into these questions in Black Texas and beyond.
hiiiii @kcarterjackson.bsky.social is on bluesky give her all your follows!
So excited to hear @agr.bsky.social to cap off an incredible day of history and reflection.
@kcarterjackson.bsky.social citing Stephanie Camp is like a nesting doll filled with amazing historians doing such incredible work.
"poking fun at whiteness" undoes its potency. Joy and humor and anger are interlinked.
I read @kcarterjackson.bsky.social 's We Refuse and still think about it regularly. I love that she includes Joy in her consideration of forceful refusal.
So excited for your talk tonight!
"whiteness is consumed with inflicting violence"... "Why are white people so violent?"
"Racism isn't concerned with being caught on camera. It poses for it."
"marches are public mourning, not public policy." Carter Jackson challenges us to reconsider our veneration of non-violence.
"refusal is collective" Kellie Carter Jackson
Dr. Kimberlyn Montford sharing about spirituals as texts, and I love that she doesn't even need media, she just uses her own voice to sing her examples. She's talking about three kinds of spirituals - sorrowful songs, joyful songs, and coded songs to share info.
Dr. Mekala Audain with an incredible presentation on freedom seekers and the difficulties of escape including distorted ideas about distance, getting lost, and environmental / landscape challenges (getting water, human and animal predators, harsh terrain)
I will always love everything Cat writes.
Ogogor reminds us that enslavers weren't just men, and the panelists all speak to this process of identifying enslavers and the power they held.
I really appreciate how Davis showed us the range of enslaved experiences, and bringing people's voices to our view
I appreciate that they're sharing a range of enslaved experiences and laws that impacted the human experience.
A very cool panel on land, law, and slavery made up with my colleague Teresa Van Hoy and one of our alums Eddie Paniagua at the Witte Museum's Conference on Texas. They're joined by Ronald W. Davis II and Sandra Ogogor
She's talking about bringing in sensory experiences to her classroom in teaching students - cooking recipes from old cookbooks, bringing scents and movement into class
Really powerful is her discussion of her book and humanizing our understanding of enslaved people in the market - that they had the capacity to talk back and contradict, humanization of a human commodity.
It's really wonderful to hear a sort of state of the field talk targeted to a broader public audience.
So excited to be at the Witte Museum's conference on Texas today. First up this morning is Dr. Daina Ramey Berry, “Endurin’ de Freedom War:” Slavery and Emancipation in Texas—A Complex History
Bumping this back to the top of my feed! I've added quite a few people so if it's been awhile, check back in :)
Finally made a #Blackademics starter pack! Let continue to build community here. This is part of #Blacksky so please show your appreciation to the architect, @rudyfraser.com
It was a treat to be able to learn about these artifacts from Witte curator Ronald Davis and archivist Leslie Ochoa -- they were showing off bills of sale and pottery from Hiram Wilson and Co., and more.
