62 years ago today—September 15, 1963—four girls in Birmingham were murdered by a bomb in their church. Two boys were murdered in the chaos that followed.

Six children, gone before sundown.

This is what resistance to equality looks like.

Black-and-white collage of six African American children killed on September 15, 1963, in Birmingham, Alabama. The top row shows the four girls—Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, and Denise McNair—killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. The bottom row shows Johnny Robinson and Virgil Ware, two boys murdered in the violence that followed later that day.

Fantastique série d'entretiens d' @span EdwyPlenel sur l'archéologie, et en particulier au rapport des politiques français à l'archéologie.
Les interviews d'Alain Schnapp et de Jean-Paul Demoule étaient super, mais les paroles de Dominique Garcia sur le rapport de l'archéologie avec les territoires et ses habitants que je trouve particulièrement enthousiasmant et intéressant...
Merci @span mediapart !

Are there any #histodons still on here?

I’ve not been very active recently since I was spending a lot of time on Bluesky—where most of my old Twitter community ended up. I’m not sure how much longer that’s going to be a viable place, though.

As luck would have it, though, just as I’m committing to spending more time here I just learned that my server will be shutting down next month and I need to find a new Fediverse home.

Any suggestions?

#OnThisDay, 24 Aug 1896, an unknown woman cyclist has a beer at the bar in New Jersey - making headlines in the New York Times.

Chapeau!

Newsclipping. Headline: She drank her ale at the bar. Subheading: Girl Cyclist in Rahway Amazed Loungers in Chamberlain's. Story then tells how the woman ordered and drank a beer straight from the bottle whilst standing at the bar, to the amazement of the men in there.

This cool exhibit of Black women’s historical clothing is opening in #SanDiego soon

https://www.clothesstoryexhibit.com/

and the local news did a nice interview with the curator (not paywalled)

https://archive.ph/qaqCQ

It reminded me of Patricia A. Montgomery’s series of quilted civil rights coats

On the surface, Bruce Springsteen is the workingman’s troubadour—the bard of highways and mill towns. But for a Black listener, his voice carries another weight: it echoes the sorrow songs, borrows from Black survival, & exposes the fracture at America’s core.

Black-and-white photograph of a musical performance showing two musicians---Clarence Clemons and Bruce Springsteen with their heads together. On the left, Clemons in a suit and tie plays a saxophone with intensity,, frowning, his face shining with sweat. On the right, Springsteen, with tousled hair leans in close, mouth open as if singing or shouting into the music. The image captures a moment of energy and collaboration on stage.
