The line in this story that says, "Gerow has maintained that he was not the 'cause' of the fatal accident," is reminiscent of the fascinating hypothetical about a drunk driver hitting a pedestrian that E.H. Carr provides in his chapter on causation in WHAT IS HISTORY? https://t.co/sVlwlBq3e6

@ClementsAustinJ It’s 1919 but Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio is incredible as is Nella Larson, Passing, Jean Toomer, Cane, and Alain Locke, The New Negro.

I’m reading Fred Logevall’s terrific CHOOSING WAR and he discusses the problematic “doctrine of credibility” pushed by Rusk and McNamara concerning S. Vietnam in 1961, which Jonathan Shell called a “psychological domino theory.” Lessons not learned. https://t.co/Znz24sP8Ev

John's posted as I was reading this statement from Claude G. Bowers, author of THE TRAGIC ERA (1929) in 1957, as the Civil Rights movement was heating up. Tone-"unbridled abuse of the South," "bitter attacks on the South"-is his primary, maybe even sole, category of analysis. https://t.co/iLQJMHxExN https://t.co/3fs7T3Y8hw

@CornellHistory So kind of my friend and colleague MBN to credit me for this. fyi, this was based on research that I did for my 2009 book BUYING POWER: A HISTORY OF CONSUMER ACTIVISM IN AMERICA, when digital tools were much less widely available.

Fascinating, mostly positive, review by NC historian, Hugh T. Lefler in the Raleigh News and Observer, of James S. Allen's 1937 Marxist interpretation, RECONSTRUCTION: THE BATTLE FOR DEMOCRACY. https://t.co/0cAcFXGsh5

@LBRolsky @robgreeneII @p_emory @RealMichaelKay I don't do that much with sports broadcasting in my course, but I do deal with the Black press and Jackie Robinson; Howard Cosell and Mohammed Ali; pro wrestling. Howard Bryant has excellent work on the televised politics of patriotism in his book, THE HERITAGE.
