We’ve been studying the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic in my Fictions of Early America class. If history is a story, Mathew Carey was a true villain in real life and fiction.
This is one of the epigraphs of the historical fiction short story “Fever” by John Edgar Wideman.
A bit late for #BlackHistoryMonth but well worth talking about!

The third mini-bio from the slashed AP AA Studies list is out. Fabio Rojas is one of the ones that I was unfamiliar with so I enjoyed learning about him. Now he has another fan.
If you are having difficulty finding the toots, look up #AAStudies or #AfricanAmercanStudies.
