It has been a privilege to tell this story and to learn more along the way. I am very grateful to everyone who helped make this exhibit and the programs we put on possible.

My exhibit on the Reconstruction-era South Carolina Normal School has been up for a year – today is its last day.

I recorded a short video this morning to document the exhibit: youtu.be/v37FIi7P25c

Today is National Read a Book Day. I feel like every day going forward needs to be National Read a Book Day in the U.S. if there’s anything we could use more of in this country, it’s book reading.

Congrats to Adam for these excellent books!

Am I writing about today or higher ed 200+ years ago? "In short, anyone studying some aspect of higher education in 2025, no matter how much it may seem a contemporary or modern problem, most likely will find a historical antecedent and/or parallel from the early history that Nelson elucidates."

“History doesn’t always repeat but it often rhymes.” - Mark Twain (allegedly)

My long review of Adam Nelson's pair of books on the history of the political economy of higher education in America was published in the most recent issue of The Review of Higher Education.

Was hopeful for the new Superman movie. Big chunks of it felt like SNL sketches spoofing it. Overall, a major dud. Too bad… 😢

Very good movie. I liked it a lot. I had no idea it was based on a true story!

Remember that time that Ronald Reagan had a painting made of his assassination attempt and moved Carter's presidential portrait to display it?

Preach, Brother Jennings!

WUT. THE.

Studio exec: "This bit in your screenplay where you have the villainous former mayor and dictator sycophant/enabler ringing the stock market bell the day the market goes into free fall seems a bit over the top."

Director: "Screenplay? This is a documentary, not a feature film."

Exec: "Oh."

It's called Liberation Day because you've been liberated from your money...
