On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Thrilled to see this from my wonderful friend (& productivity role model 😁💙) @hngreen.bsky.social. Dr. Green is a fabulous historian 🗃️ & I look forward to reading it!!
It’s difficult to express just how thrilled I am to finally hold @hngreen.bsky.social’s new book. I know how hard she has worked on it and having talked with her over the years, I know how important this book will be to the development of the field of Civil War Memory studies. Congratulations. 🗃️
