“Manhunt” by James L. Swanson

“Battle Cry of Freedom,” James McPherson

B shouldn’t even be an option 😅

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.

Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

No problem! Happy to offer a bit of help.

I know there's a lot more on historic tourism and stuff, but one title that immediately comes to mind is Stephanie Yuhl's "A Golden Haze of Memory." It's about Charleston, but it will probably touch on some of the themes your student is interested in.

I'm going to list a few titles about the South, memory, and race. Hopefully, they're a decent starting point, but this is a big field that is still growing.

Grace Hale: Making Whiteness

W.F. Brundage: The Southern Past

Karen L. Cox: Dreaming of Dixie; also No Common Ground
