Co-edited by Yours Truly and the indomitable Lauren Tilton, these short essays span Reconstruction to Selfie Culture. Tell your students it's a picture book! They don't need to know you're tricking them into learning key moments in American history through critical visual analysis.
Just look at that beautiful book jacket, and enjoy this teaser of all our photos!
And the best news is that this volume can be yours for the low, low price of $19, on sale now through Bloomsbury Press (www.bloomsbury.com/us/us-histor...)
She gracefully responded with a joke and moved right along to deliver a memorable talk, both in content and context.

Are you tired of the same old, same old in your US History II survey? Feeling stuck in a rut? Annoyed that your students won't read long articles? Have no fear -- "US History in 15 Photographs" is here to save the day!

Three years ago, I received a mistaken email chronicling a presentation fiasco in which the speaker accidentally let a very audible fart rip - in the conference room with "the echo" no less!

Please join me in a hearty congrats to the happy couple 🥂

2/ This weekend, we dedicated the first of thirteen markers along the Wyandot Removal Trail. “We now have the opportunity to tell our own story from our perspective, and I am proud to say that it is not whitewashed to make communities feel more comfortable,” Kim Garcia told the crowd.
3/ Over 40 people from the local community who joined us on a chilly morning to commemorate this important moment.
Our next markers will be installed in Lebanon and North Bend in 2026, and our last in 2032. You can preview drafts of the remaining markers at uchistorylab.com/wyandot-trail/.
