I met Dr. Sanderia Faye in grad school at #UTDallas. She always shines light on others! #TheTrinity was featured at her first-ever "Champagne Brunch & Author Salon." I thank her & #SMU English Dept.'s "Narrative Now" program for the honor. Big shout out to @deepvellum.bsky.social, too. So fun!🥂📚💫

I'm returning to The Sixth Floor Museum on Thursday, August 20th at 6 p.m. for a conversation about "The Trinity" at the place that inspired the book! If you're in Dallas, stop by and join the discussion. #TheTrinity #JFK www.jfk.org/event/the-tr...

OTD in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. Here is a photo of LBJ handing a pen to Martin Luther King, Jr, at the signing ceremony. As the caption says, this was "the strongest civil rights legislation since Reconstruction Days."

What an honor it was speaking to Chris Jansing @msnowreports.bsky.social about Reverend Jesse Jackson's presidential runs, and his impact on the Civil Rights Movement! Lots of resonance with my forthcoming book's themes on how African Americans value the presidency.
