Kitchen Table History

History from the Kitchen Table

Live conversations and audio musings on history, family, and the next world.

A community offering of notes, readings, and curriculum from my convening of Black Creative Worlds (a bit.ly/JHUBlackWorld seminar) in Spring 2025.

A 12-week community offering on history and memory in slavery’s archive. Because the Black freedom struggle during slavery should be a topic of conversation at every kitchen table.

In my first newsletter post on Tiny Letter I wrote "Believe in the dignity of ghosts." RIP Tiny Letter and QDEP to our ghosts; the righteous and holy dead who are not dead, who are always with us, and who live, these days, on our hard drive and mobile device archives. This 6-week summer community offering,. I return to my own hard archive of photos and materials, not with any special intention or purpose in mind, but with some hope that there is a photo here or there that will jog a memory, a reflection on history, or a poem about the past. Maybe you'll share some of your letters for ghosts too. Rambling around in my brain and letting whatever comes to mind slide into your email inbox starting July 7, 2026.
