I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

As some of you have pointed out: I finished ***writing*** a book on the subject. Not reading one. Though I also had to read it many times!

You'd think I'd have learned some important lessons about proof reading recently...
