Organization of American Historians (#OAH) votes to condemn Israeli '#scholasticide' in #Gaza
“The largest professional society for the teaching and study of American history passed the resolution last weekend“
Update. "Joint Statement on Federal Censorship of American History"
https://www.historians.org/news/aha-oah-joint-statement-on-federal-censorship-of-american-history/
"The American Historical Association (#AHA) and the Organization of American Historians (#OAH) condemn recent efforts to censor historical content on federal government websites, at many public museums, and across a wide swath of government resources…Policies that purge words, phrases, and content that some officials deem suspect on ideological grounds constitute a systemic campaign to distort, manipulate, and erase significant parts of the historical record. Recent directives insidiously prioritize narrow ideology over historical research, historical accuracy, and the actual experiences of Americans.
As the institution chartered by the US Congress for “the promotion of historical studies” and “in the interest of American history, and of history in America,” the American Historical Association must speak out when the nation’s leadership wreaks havoc with that history. So, too, must the OAH, as the organization committed to promoting “excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history.” It is bad enough to forget the past; it is even worse to intentionally deny the public access to what we remember, have documented, and have expended public resources to disseminate."
"To date, 11 organizations have signed on to the statement."

At the OAH in NOLA. On a panel about economics and outsiders, like the relationship between the Mafia and NYC's gay community in the 1950s. #oah
A review of Charlie Brown's America by Blake Scott Ball appears in the current issue of Journal of American History. Anyone willing to share a copy of the review? #histodons #OAH #journalofamericanhistory
Proud of this Organization of American Historians (#OAH) #LGBTQ Committee statement on Colorado's new K-12 History-Social Studies Standards.
