This conference means so much to me. In 2019, @jenguiliano.bsky.social & I collaborated to put on the 1st ACH conference since the 1990s. I ran it for the next few years and now the labor has been taken on by other wonderful people. #ReviewsInDH, among other projects, would not exist if not for it.

Philadelphia sues after slavery exhibits were taken down from President's House site
The lawsuit says the National Park Service removed the displays referring to slavery "presumably pursuant to the mandateβ of an executive order from President Donald Trump.
Philadelphia sues over "arbitrary and capricious" removal of displays about slavery" at Independence National Historical Park, with one official saying "History cannot be erased simply because it is uncomfortable." Good. Hope we see lots more lawsuits like this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

If you or your students are new to DH, ACH has earned its reputation as a friendly, welcoming space. They also put a lot of thought into online activities beyond Zoom to get some of that "hallway conversation" effect, and it's extremely affordable especially for students. Please propose something!
