July is shaping up to be another busy month! Check out my upcoming events to see if I’m coming to a city near you. I hope to see you there!

I’m headed back to Louisiana later this month with The The Descendants Project (Louisiana)! If you’re in the area, come out to hear about Harriet Tubman and the Combahee River Raid. thedescendantsproject.org/events/thestor…

"Harriet Tubman never formally enlisted in the U.S. military," Edda Fields-Black (she/her/hers) and Kate Clifford Larson write. "She was a war hero nonetheless." wapo.st/44uKmmq

Harriet Tubman is a U.S. military hero, and I, along with my colleague and Tubman biographer Kate Clifford Larson, detail why Secretary Pete Hegseth should not strip her name from the USNS Harriet Tubman in this Washington Post opinion piece. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

This July 4th, we celebrate freedom and remember how our ancestors fought for it. Harriet Tubman didn’t just dream of liberty; she delivered it. Her leadership in the Combahee River Raid helped free over 750 people. Let’s honor America by preserving the histories that shaped it.

The reprint of COMBEE with the Pulitzer Prize sticker is here! I’m grateful to every supporter who’s helped share this story. Your enthusiasm continues to bring Harriet Tubman, the Second South Carolina Volunteers, and the Combahee freedom seekers’ heroism into the spotlight.

I’m excited to be joining Stratford Hall First Africans Day celebration. Join us on July 26 as we honor the stories and contributions of the enslaved Africans and African Americans who shaped history. stratfordhall.org/event/first-af…

We’re just ONE WEEK away from my panel with The Descendants Project (Louisiana)! If you’re in LaPlace, LA, RSVP now: thedescendantsproject.org/events/thestor…

It was GREAT to be back on the Tavis Smiley Show!

I had a ball on the Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley Show last week! We relived the moment COMBEE won the Pulitzer, talked about Sec. Pete Hegseth and birthright citizenship, and, of course, the Combahee River Raid! Listen here: spreaker.com/episode/edda-l….

Munich in June with my Emory professor, Dr. Peter Bing, who helped me with Latin quotes in COMBEE's primary sources. I enjoyed the English Garden, the Eisbach, LMU university & White Rose Memorial, and Lebkuchen-Schmidt’s vegan gingerbread (in honor of Tubman).

“This is such an American institution trusted by people across political divides,” Ken Burns says. “I meet in big markets and small markets and you begin to see the way in which, particularly in those small rural markets, the PBS station is really like the public library. It's

While writing COMBEE in July of 2021, I went to Billings, Montana, to consult a private archival collection related to Tubman's time in Beaufort. In August of 2021, I went fly fishing in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania, with CastingForRecovery. I hope to visit both again!

I jumped at the chance for my entire family to go to Montana while I taped the Backcountry Manifesto Podcast to visit Yellowstone and, well, go fishing! It's one way we celebrated COMBEE winning the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History this summer! #HarrietTubman #CombaheeRiverRaid

Queen Velvet The way it was set up was to not have it be able to be influenced by the government. Hence why funding was 2 years in advance and the CPB is independent. Americans have the right to FREE and Independent quality information. It’s not just political news, it’s international news

We have degraded the free press at our peril!
