The greatest bird artist you’ve never heard of
"Brasher sought a more naturalistic treatment, without Audubon’s operatic drama. Although he hunted and collected birds as a young man, he gave up that approach later, preferring close observation to specimen hunting. His paintings have a lightness and transparency wholly different from Audubon’s heightened atmosphere."

"For decades, famed professor Tim White used a vast collection of human remains... to teach his anthropology students at the University of California, Berkeley.
White, a world-renowned expert on human evolution, said the collection was passed down through generations of #anthropology professors before he started teaching with it in the late 1970s. It came with no records, he said. Most were not labeled at all or said only “lab.”

The Southern Farmers’ Alliance, Populists, and lynching
"Our empirical findings reveal that lynchings were more common in counties where the Farmers’ Alliance had more organizations in South Carolina, but no similar connection exists in North Carolina..... suggest that the Southern Farmers’ Alliance is, at times, pivotal to understanding populism’s connection to #lynching in the late-nineteenth century American South."

"The segregation based mainly and specifically on race and color which the United States Government carries on is despicable, illogical and uncivilized … To perpetuate it in the case of the Gold Star mothers who are visiting great cemeteries where the putrid remains of their dead sons were buried very largely by Negro soldiers, is the last word in this national disgrace.”

‘I wish he had finished his book’: Chad L Williams on WEB Du Bois
"This was this huge aspect of his life and career and scholarship which had been overlooked. From that moment I was hooked on understanding it. It would have been the definitive history of [Black soldiers] in world war I and one of Du Bois’s most significant works of scholarship – but he never completed it.” #Sociology #WWI #DuBois #BlackHistory

Morgan Freeman says the terms ‘Black History Month’ and ‘African American’ are insults....
objected to “African American” because it was inaccurate....
you say Africa as if it’s a country when it’s a continent, like Europe.”

As for Black History Month, he said he objected to the ghettoisation implicit in devoting February to this topic.

“Black history is American history; they’re completely intertwined.”

Look up, listen, and be very concerned. Birds are vanishing – and their crisis is our crisis
Mark Cocker

The UK has lost 40m birds since 1970 and Europe as a whole has lost 600m birds since 1980...long been the worst of any country in the region. The North American continent, meanwhile, but especially the US, has seen avian populations fall by almost a third since 1970, losing a cumulative 3bn birds. #Climate_Change #Biodiversity #Birds #extinction

Why experts recommend ditching racial labels in genetic studies
"Using race and ethnicity to describe study participants gives the mistaken impression that humans can be divided into distinct groups. Such labels have been used to stigmatize groups of people, but do not explain biological and genetic diversity, the panel convened by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine said in a report on March 14" #HistSTM #HistSci #Genetics

NY Audubon Society to Drop “Audubon” in Name Due to Founders Links to Slavery
"New York City Audubon will be doing away with the word “Audubon” following a months-long review process and vote by the NYC Audubon Board of Directors on March 20. The organization said that operating under the name of the 19th-century naturalist John James Audubon known for owning and selling slaves, no longer aligned with the conservation group’s mission" #Slavery #HistSTM #HistSci #Audubon
