Good to see you here, Kevin. And love to Otis, I’m sure he is good medicine in this sad time.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing the good work of The Valentine in RVA as they continue to lead important community based discussions on this topic and many others our students are still processing and will need to be included in and informed about as they become local policy makers, educators, and future leaders. Knowing you are doing this as you spent your holidays (as so many did) without those most recently lost is a testament to your dedication to keeping important history in our national dialogue.

Thanks for the kind words, Annie. I still think the decision to display the Jefferson Davis statue on the ground is one of the most compelling examples of the creative ways that these artifacts can be used to teach the history and memory of Confederate statuary.

Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for keeping in touch through this medium while dealing with everything that come with the death of a parent. Please take time for yourself, all the time you need. We'll be here. No rush.

Happy New Year! ✨️

Thanks so much, Lisa. I will, but it's also important for me to begin to regain some sense of normalcy. No doubt it will be a difficult balance to achieve. All the best.
