6. Just had an email from someone doing genealogical work on an enslaved ancestor. They found some clues on a random page in my research wiki. One of the reasons why I like Open Notebook History: wcaleb.org/blog/open-notebook-history

9. With news that the Twitter API will no longer be free to use later this week, I'm divided about whether to continue the @Every3Minutes bot. After 8+ years and 1.3M tweets, each one representing the sale of a person in the US, it may be time to bring the project to a close.

10. Can't help but think about @historycorey's book on how third-party political abolitionists before the Civil War used House Speaker battles to wield influence beyond their numbers. I reviewed it for @CommonplaceJrnl the year after the post-Boehner battle. commonplace.online/article/feelthebirney/

12. In 1958, Hattie Mae White became the first African American elected to Houston's School Board, & only the second African American elected to an office in Texas since Reconstruction. After the vote, opponents raised unfounded questions about the voting machines.

18. In 1867, Ajay O'Neil was listed on the Harris County voter rolls. The rolls said he had lived in Texas for 46 years, in Houston for one, and had been naturalized "by recent laws of Congress, being a native of Africa."

19. In 1870 a Freedmen's Bureau agent in TX predicted the state would build racially segregated public schools, over the "strenuous opposition" of Black legislators, who "justly regard a 'separate system' as a violation of their Constitutional rights, both National and State."
