I had the privilege to meet Dean William Thomas years ago (many of our research topics overlapped) while he was the history department chair at UNL. I am sure historians/educators will find his team's U.S. legal history OER to be innovative & valuable.

To be fair, this is the marketing/sponsorship model in almost everything anymore regardless of market (although certainly true in pro sports and perhaps, most visibly).
Essentially,
1. Do bad shit.
2. Rehab image/project values via sponsorship.
3. Repeat.

I have to take issue with this headline! The tragic death of Samuele Privitera is the headline. Rafferty is not important here.

Celebrate it! Embrace it! Wear it as a badge of honor and respect!
Please forgive this if it comes across as at all smug, i promise I am not. 🙏🏻 I never thought for one minute when I appeared on the first podcast as a guest, when I attended my first Tour of Britain as media, that I would end up at Le Tour. I know I’ve been deeply privileged & its an honour.

In 1894 the League of American Wheelmen officially excluded Black cyclists. In 1886 the Detroit Ramblers Bicycle Club took this photo with a Black cyclist front and center. Were they making a statement?
