Popping back up to Providence for #WorkOfRevolution after an afternoon in New Haven. Shout out to my former colleague Richard Cellini, Prof. David Blight, Yale's Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition, and all the amazing attendees.

I'll be drawing on my work with two International Coalition of Sites of Conscience member sites and all the people, histories, and materials at the center of the work. #WorkOfRevolution ☺️ 🏡

I'm reflecting on the power of place, home, and memory, and on how a robust understanding of the past enables us to see the present more clearly...and envision better futures. #WorkOfRevolution

Providence is one of my favorite cities and this is an exhilarating way to celebrate the country's semiquincentennial. I'm looking forward to gallivanting and learning more about my ancestral connections to The Ocean State. #WorkOfRevolution

I'm part of the Program Committee and will also be repping the National Public Housing Museum (alongside my colleague Liú m.z.h. Chen and other folks from fabulous institutions and orgs around the country) during the Public Historians and the Housing Crisis working group. #WorkOfRevolution
