As a San Diego-born historian, I’m annoyed by this hat and sweatshirt I saw: 1850 isn’t the year San Diego was established or when California and not even when the city came under US control. And probably more annoyed that most people won’t notice.

My next presentation, free online, next Tuesday. Good for teachers and librarians to think about what is possible to research in their communities.

Fun for my first post here to be: Happy to be flying into the 100th Buxton Homecoming with this book under contract! Should be out for Black History Month 2026. @ucpress.bsky.social
