It was an HONOR to give the 1st lecture for the Doerr Center for Civic Engagement last week at HastingsCollege! It was titled “The Long Lost Cause: St. Augustine’s Confederate Monument and the Consequences of Historical Dishonesty,” & the response was tremendous!

I knew Iowa was going to be a bloodbath when I learned DeSantis had more campaign appearances than Haley and TFG combined. Turns out you have to be somewhat personable to do well in politics & the more you see of that uncharismatic dolt, the less likable he is.

If you’re in the Tampa, Clearwater, & St. Pete area, I will be speaking on “The Civil Rights Movement in Florida” next Friday, Nov 3, 7 pm at the Pinellas County African American History Museum. Hope to see you there, b/c teaching this history is an act of resistance in 2023!

Took my “Two Kings: MLK, Elvis, & America” class on a St. Augustine civil right walk today. Ended at the Flagler College marker, a reminder that students CAN change their community - even when it comes at a personal cost.
