1/ First MAJOR update since 2017 & big changes to @MonroeWorkToday! 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Cheering megaphone" aria-label="Emoji: Cheering megaphone">Foremost, a new name to honor *Mrs.* Work: history recalls a bright mind in her own right, working on the same projects from home. Perhaps Booker T. Washington knew he had 2 employees for the price of 1...?
2/ ...or perhaps https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩🏿🏫" title="Woman teacher (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman teacher (dark skin tone)">is what& #39;s always been behind a #GreatManHistory. This change was two years in the making, from a talk at #aeri2018 by @findauut, reflecting on who gets naming rights in a project like this.
May it be the first of many.

Such improvements were made possible by the public research of @cfeimster @drakbailey @lynchingsites & #JamesPotter (d.2016-RIP)
4/https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Cheering megaphone" aria-label="Emoji: Cheering megaphone"> The basemap of the http://bit.ly/lynchingmap ">https://bit.ly/lynchingm... is a much better portrayal of the contested terrain of the USA at the dawn of 1910. May it specifically jar us all to reconsider our assumptions when we go back in time.
5/https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Cheering megaphone" aria-label="Emoji: Cheering megaphone"> The map itself has new features to help your students explore and to aid your research. And for the very first time: every marker is fully bilingual (English/Spanish), along with the entire site.
6/https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📣" title="Cheering megaphone" aria-label="Emoji: Cheering megaphone"> Finally: today we join the big tent of #PlainTalkHistory, a resource forever-free to high schoolers (or anyone else). "Each record here has a footnote inviting you to investigate for yourself. Every citizen has a duty to know this story. This history belongs to everyone."
7/https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face"> Note: We know this moment of pandemic may not be the right one to revisit the grief & anger at one of #whitesupremacy& #39;s most traumatic histories. But the challenge of raising informed Ss never leaves us. That time will return, and @MonroeWorkToday will be ready.
