Our fabulous #ITPSCon2020 plenary panel has begun with @ZaraAnishanslin urging attendees to think about ways to break down barriers between public and academic history.
@ZaraAnishanslin continues by pointing to the radical nature of Rev Era women’s material culture.
Next is Dr. Tara Bynum, exploring Phillis Wheatley’s varieties of political experience and relevance in the Rev Era!
Following Dr. Bynum is @Duval_Lauren, asking, how can we present a history of protest that is inclusive and public-facing?
Now speaking is @mollyhardy, exploring the relationship between archives and space in historical memory of the Revolutionary Era.
David Waldstreicher opens with the poem “Of Night and Sleep,” published in the Massachusetts Spy of January 7, 1773, making the case for attribution to Phillis Wheatley!
Finally, @WolvertonNan speaks on her experiences curating the fantastic @NYHistory exhibition “Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere”!
