**‘The British are coming’ and the outbreak of hostilities during the American Revolutionary War**

“_During the summer of 1776, they defined their objective as total separation and declared independence. Yet declaring independence was very different to actually achieving it. King George III’s government, under Prime Minister Frederick, Lord North regarded their actions as no more than insurrection and remained determined to crush them._”

Don’t know why I didn’t think of asking sooner…

Is anybody planning to attend the #MemoryStudies conference in Prague this summer?

I’m presenting work on the US Seminquincentennnial and authoritarian mobilizations of historical memory.

Jackie Robinson testified against communism before Congress in 1949. By 1968 he resigned from the GOP, citing its "racist" tactics.

#OnThisDay, 16 Apr 1912, Harriet Quimby becomes the first woman to fly a plane across the English Channel.

Quimby was the first American woman to receive a pilot’s licence and made her living doing exhibition flights in the US. She also made money as the advertising face of a grape juice. She died in July 1912 when her plane pitched forward at 1,000 feet and she was thrown out.
