I have NO patience for people who claim that historians should be producing traditional scholarship and not addressing the public.

Historians should be engaging with EVERY public.

Talking about democracy.

Teaching about democracy.

Highlighting the gaslighting & correcting the whitewashing.

If ever there was a time for historians to step up & engage with the public for the sake of American democracy, it's NOW.

@jbf1755 100% yes. All disciplines must, but historians serve as both the stewards of the lessons of the past and those who must remind us of the tragedies we have already created through our nistakes
