I had a wonderful time chatting with @Classical_Ideas about my work and the @Sacred_Writes program led me to expand my public-facing work this year.

Religion scholars - apply to @Sacred_Writes. There are lots of great reasons, but having the chance to work with @modmyth is at the top! #amrel
Glad to see this smart op-ed on Christian white supremacy by @eljemison out w/ @RNS! makes a great addition to syllabi too, just saying…
I wrote this @RNS op-ed about why we must not miss the history of white Christian racism behind Florida's new K-12 curriculum.
Thanks to @Sacred_Writes @modmyth & @PaulODonnellEIC for guiding my ideas here.

Helpful caveats and complications below, but I’ll still be saving this report for advising & recruitment of new majors @ClemsonUniv

I'd love to live in a country where my expertise in Christianity & white supremacy from the 1800s onward was irrelevant , but since it's evergreen, I'm grateful that @Sacred_Writes and @modmyth are training me to speak to broader audiences.
Some of the @Sacred_Writes scholars I’ve been working with this summer are historians of Reconstruction & white supremacy & frankly I wish their expertise was a little *less* relevant to public discourse. @DrDarnise @eljemison cnn.com/2023/07/20/us/florid…

I’m already learning so much from @Sacred_Writes and my cohort members. Excited for all the learning this summer as I head into my (first ever!) sabbatical this fall.
Everyone give a warm welcome to our Summer 2023 race, justice, and religion cohort of 12 public scholars, training funded by @HLuceFdn! Read more about our newest cohort on our website, and in the thread below! sacred-writes.org/luce-cohor…

@JournalGAPE reviewed my *Christian Citizens* from @UNC_Press: “Jemison drives home the resilience of white supremacy” and “expertly shows how proslavery ideas morphed … to justify white—and ... male— supremacy in the decades after the Civil War” uncpress.org/book/9781469659… 1/3

Voting in South Carolina: Three masked women running the two combined precincts efficiently. One unmasked white male Republican poll watcher sitting way too close to them.
Thanks, @CWBookReview, for including *Christian Citizens: Reading the Bible in Black and White in the Postemancipation South* (@UNC_Press ) in your latest set of reviews.
10/11 Shakeel Harris writes that @eljemison's Christian Citizens: Reading the Bible in Black & White in the Postemancipation South (@UNC_Press) "clearly articulat[es] the impact faith had on the spiritual & civic lives of black & white southerners," digitalcommons.lsu.edu/cgi/v…

Lighting a candle and reflecting w gratitude for the life of Prof. Al Raboteau, his scholarship, teaching, & human and humane presence. HIs 2006 seminar on “Religious Radicals” pushed frenetic undergrads to meditate on & be formed by Merton, Day, Thurman, King, Prejean et al

Just received a @unc_press royalty check for *Christian Citizens* (woohoo!). Since my book shows how white Christians have perpetrated, justified & hidden racial violence, I am glad to donate the check to @eji_org's work for racial justice & public education around this history.
Thanks, @heathwcarter, for including my work in such excellent company. Sounds like a terrific class!
Today we'll focus on Reconstruction in my evangelicalism class. The conversation will be shaped by excerpts from @eljemison, @NicoMyTurn, @LukeHarlow, Jennifer Graber, & Charles Reagan Wilson; as well as readings from Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, & Francis Grimké. Can't wait!
