    RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

    You are certainly tired of reading that Brazil imported the largest number of enslaved Africans to the Americas (nearly 5 MILLION), more than 10 times the number of Africans brought to the USA, but believe me every single week I meet people who don't know this! #slaveryarchive

    Don't forget: for the enslaved Christmas was a great opportunity to escape from bondage. Today we remember Harriet Tubman who on Christmas Day of 1854 rescued three of her brothers (Ben, Henry, and Robert) from slavery #slaveryarchive #twitterhistorians #ChristmasEve

    With the total destruction of Museu Nacional of Rio de Janeiro, a 200-year institution, 20 million artifacts and historic building were lost, Museu Nacional is the equivalent of the British Museum in Brazil. Losing it is devastating, still a disgrace that could have been avoided

    In his new book, historian Vincent Brown argues that slave rebellions like the Tacky's revolt did more to end the slave trade than any actions taken by white abolitionists. #slaveryarchive #twitterstorians
