"That Tubman was prohibited from enlisting in the U.S. Army did not stop her from risking her life for the enslaved, or for a nation that hadn’t yet recognized her rights as a citizen." 🗃️ www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

NEH cuts have left many of us feeling powerless. I want to do whatever I can to help. If your current or planned program has lost funding and falls within my area of expertise, I am willing to waive as much of my compensation as possible. I will do virtual presentations for free. Please reach out.
