How have I not come across @ModAmHist before last night? Full of so much interesting stuff. First up, a very strong recommendation for this essay by Julia Brown-Bernstein on deindustrialization in LA. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Good morning Kansas City! We’re ready for #2024SHA
#OnThisDay in 1898, the US took control of Puerto Rico as part of the end of the Spanish American War. Our 2019 forum explores relationship between the U.S. and Puerto Rico as it intersects with discussions of colonialism, labor, and teaching. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Congratulations to the honorable mention for our Second Annual Brooke L. Blower and Sarah T. Phillips Essay Prize: Dante LaRiccia (@dante_lariccia) for his article "Oil, Empire, and Anti-Colonial Environmentalism: A Tale of Two Superports." Learn more: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
#OnThisDay in 1957, the U.S.S.R launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, which inaugurated the space age and heightened Cold War competition between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. Learn more about the Cold War in this MAH article from @TomBishop89 cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Announcing the winner of the Second Annual Brooke L. Blower and Sarah T. Phillips Essay Prize: John Miles Branch (@NorthwesternU) with "Union Exemption: #nonprofit Work and the Boundaries of the Commercial Economy, 1951-1976." Keep an eye out for it in next year's MAH!

Our second new #FirstView article is by @DavidKieran2 at @CSUHistoryGP. The insightful article explores how, in light of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Americans use veteran's mental health to make sense of wars in the 21st century. Read it here: bit.ly/3XwK9Nr
#Firstview Alert!!! We are thrilled to have 2 new articles out online. The 1st: Emily Pope-Obeda (@LehighU) delves into Black engagement with #Immigrant deportations in the 20s & 30s. Check out this GREAT article! cambridge.org/core/journals/… #History
#OnThisDay in 1967, Thurgood Marshall became the first African American to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. Also known for his role in arguing Brown v. Brown, Marshall served on the Supreme Court for 24 years before retiring for health reasons.
On this day in 1927, Italian-American Anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for two alleged murders. Given how anti-left and anti-immigrant violence shaped their fates, we're sharing @ellendwu's 2019 soapbox about the role of war in immigration: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
