Update On Current Book Project: This past week my co-editor and I sent off a revised proposal for our Confederate Monuments Reader. This latest draft includes a separate chapter on the African American response to monument dedications and one on college campus controversies.

I agree with Meg……having a hard time wrapping my head around how this is relevant.
This book is actually about the family of John Adams, founder of the Republic–I just have the kind of head that goes off into different spaces once in a while. Well, alot, actually.
Sara and I were in a book writing group here in Boston so I read part of this in manuscript form. I can’t recommend it enough if you are interested in the Adams family and the history of religion.
This is totally not relevant–when I saw the first title, I thought of Charles Addams–and wondered if the Addams family actually had religious lives–.
