I wonder if someone has a running list of fired-for-opposing-censorship librarians who won their lawsuits...

Land records — deeds, patents, and plats — can document an ancestor's life long before and after a census year. They show neighbors (often relatives), property values, and migration patterns. Virginia land records are held at the Library of Virginia.

It's sad that I can't be even a little proud of my alma maters given their derision for anyone that doesn't look or act like their ruling class.

I think it'd be great if the historical interpreters were within 30 years of age of the historical figures they are interpreting. Most founding fathers were in their 20s-40s in 1776. The revoutionary fervor of youth is hard to replicate when you're on medicare.

I mean, if your from Virginia, this kinda makes sense. Our 250 moto is "America: Made in Virginia." (I was going to add stuff about Virginia's impact on the USA, but it got dark real fast so I'm just going to leave this here.)

Absolutely, because, and not to put too fine a point on it, but high school and college instruction is, well, different, which is a feature, not a bug.

250 years ago TODAY was the last meeting of the VA House of Burgesses. Est. in 1619, the House was the first representative body in colonial North America, and is the forerunner of the current Virginia General Assembly. The 5th Virgina Convention - which declared independence, began the same day.

Today's the official release date for my new book about free people of color in Virginia. I have an interview about the book coming soon on the podcast Ancestor's Footprints with Bernice Alexander Bennett. I will be discussing the book at the Library of Virginia on 6/17. I'm still scheduling events.

Of course it did, because rail in Virginia is approaching a minimal level. Imagine what the usage would be if we invested in rail with something approaching parity with cars... www.wric.com/news/virgini...

The takeaways: 1) IMLS has proven to be immune from exec branch-only action; 2) It matters that IMLS has a statutory role; 3) ALA may not be perfect, but it knows how & when to throw a punch 4) We'll still have to fight for libraries and museums, that's ok - it's the game we're in so lace up. 2/2

Your bright spot for the day: The federal government has settled the case brought against it by ALA/AFSCME and has or will restore all grants and programs of IMLS, including all RIFs and The federal government withdrew its appeal in RI v Trump. 1/2

It was an honor to speak alongside Chief Stephen Adkins of the Chickahominy Tribe at the Library of Virginia. As stewards of Virginia’s history, our museums honor the people and moments whose contributions have defined the social and cultural fabric of the Commonwealth.
