Thanks, @jamellebouie.net for visiting CUNY Brooklyn College, his 1st but hopefully not last visit to one of the CUNYs. ~ 140 students, faculty, alumni, community members joined us for his talk. He does live up to the hype, if you're wondering. Smart synthesis of current politics. Video soon.

The US is a multi-racial nation. But how do you tell the stories of voluntary European migrants alongside African Americans (some free, some enslaved)? The NYC Tenement Museum takes it on. See also the books of @kevinkenny.bsky.social @schoeppner.bsky.social Samantha Seeley, & my book out in 2026.
