Morning appreciation for two books that have really lasted as impactful (and teach well together): Gillian McGillivray's Blazing Cane and Matthew Casey's Empire's Guestworkers. Looking forward to C's new book on Joseph Jolibois next year! 🗃️🇨🇺🇭🇹

I'm finding that the ages of Black individuals during the 1800s are often very high, often in the 90s or 100s. Is this a common thing across the country during that time period or is it just a New England phenomenon. Seems suspect that someone made it to 120 (dying in 1860) 🗃️
