Remember that tomorrow, Dr. Murphy will be our guest speaker and will be speaking with you about Irish immigrants in the antebellum United States. Many of you have raised questions about how Dowling’s Irish-ness affected his life and memory, so this will be a wonderful opportunity to ask these questions to one of the experts!
Courtney also emailed me to let me know about another wonderful opportunity that you may want to take advantage of tomorrow night: a lecture at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston about an important Civil War painting.
Finally, as noted on the schedule, please be aware that you need to read Bruce Levine’s Confederate Emancipation this week and weekend. Be prepared to discuss the book in class on Tuesday.
