I think I’m getting close to the hair dying part of quarantine finally. But definitely not bleaching. Any good ridiculous color options for brunettes these days? — PolitiTweet.org

@jbf1755 @GeneMeyer Thank you for writing the book! — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

AND a soundtrack recommendation: Check out the new @gangstagrass track Nickel and Dime Blues, which leverages their irresistible mix of bluegrass and rap to make a song that will make you want to dance even while referencing pandemic poverty: https://t.co/PjgTRoLtDB — PolitiTweet.org

Plus, I have plenty of related reading recs: including @jbf1755's The Field of Blood, @GeneMeyer's Five For Freedom, and A Voice From Harper's Ferry, the first-hand account of Osborne Perry Anderson, the sole black survivor of the raiding party. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a preview of a longer reported story so look out for more from this conversation and others soon! The topic is already inspiring new art, including these portrait studies imagining the Presidential inauguration of John Brown and Frederick Douglass in 1861 and 1865 https://t.co/Nl78DNzi09 — PolitiTweet.org

Terry and I spoke about how his own involvement in anti-racist movements and travel through areas related to Brown, including Kansas and Harpers Ferry, inspired him to learn more about the real story and imagine a world where things went differently — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

The book is a masterful look at a world where militant abolitionist John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry succeeds and brings about a very different civil war, using multiple timelines to let readers bear witness to the revolution itself and the Afro-Marxist future it heralds. — PolitiTweet.org
