Such a great Hung Liu exhibition on art and propaganda (from the Mao era in China, and the cultural revolution) at the Georgetown University art gallery. Congrats to Dorothy Moss and her students.

I’d like to thank Dr. @katelemay.bsky.social for this episode on some of the unique wartime experiences of Normans caring for the dead and some who risked their lives and safety to care for the living as they sheltered stranded aircrew members until they could get back with the American forces.

Had a special trip recently to the WWII Homefront Museum, Saint Simons Island, GA. The Coastal Georgia Historical Society is responsible for this historic museum. Beautifully curated—and MAPS!! I was in my happy place.

I love this 3-minute CSPAN video giving so much insight into the history of Hawaii (and how white people stole it, ofc). Curator and historian Kate LeMay of the National Portrait Gallery puts it all together – art history and a historian's insights. Twitter URL to watch: twitter.com/cspanhistory...
