abstract:Victor Bjelajac, District Superintendent of the North Coast Redwoods District State Parks, tells of his efforts not only on the Madison Grant monument but also on renaming another state park and bringing Yurok and other Indigenous tribes into the park system as keepers of their ancestral lands. Bjelajac contemplates the meaning and possibilities of social justice work in government agencies. He points out, among many other things, the momentum that came to the effort to rename some parks following the George Floyd moment in American history.

In 1973, Michigan Chemical Company accidentally shipped a fire retardant (polybrominated biphenyl or PBB) in place of a nutritional supplement to a livestock feed mill, which resulted in one of the largest episodes of contamination in US history. Researchers estimate that eight million people were exposed to PBB. This report from the field explores the ways in which community members with public and academic partners documented and shared this history, finding new ways to commemorate environmental disasters. The evolving and collaborative nature of this work highlights the multiple and fluid forms commemoration can take, providing an example and rationale for how the PBB disaster and other large-scale contaminations might be commemorated.

This Report from the Field discusses the methodology of “clipping history” developed by the European Union-funded research initiative RETOPEA (Religious Toleration and Peace). This project, launched in 2018, uses the history of religious toleration to stimulate educational and policy-related reflection on contemporary religious coexistence. The article discusses the initial doubts about doing public history within conditions pre-set by the European Commission; the difficulties faced by the academically trained researchers in handling the educational and digital ambitions of the project; and the eventual strategies that the researchers followed to produce sufficiently contextualized “clippings,”—short pieces of historical information that European teenagers could use to reflect on the topic of religious coexistence.

Just over a hundred years ago, the state of Florida created Dade Memorial Park to commemorate 108 US soldiers killed by Seminole Indians in 1835, an engagement at the time labeled “Dade’s Massacre.” Whereas the event itself briefly gained much attention throughout the United States and triggered the Second Seminole War (1835–42), the site’s creation and interpretations tell us much about the factors that shaped historical memorialization in public spaces in Florida and the Deep South. Specifically, this article examines the role of settler colonialism theory and Native American perspectives in the setting’s evolution into today’s Dade Battlefield Historic State Park.

Although public historians and public intellectuals were present in the United States long before the 1970s and 80s, in those decades these terms emerged as focal points for intensified debates about the roles to which they pointed. Those debates shared more than chronological proximity; they had common questions and concerns. As The Public Historian marks its forty-fifth year, comparing discussions about public historians to those about public intellectuals casts new light on a question posed at the outset and present since: what is public history? This comparison highlights the development of public history as a process—rather than the public historian as a role or public history as a product—and locates it in a broader reconfiguration of academic authority in the public sphere over the last fifty years, which included “public intellectuals” and movements for public sociology, public philosophy, and public humanities. Whereas the authoritative voice remained central to the role of the public intellectual, the process of public history was the ground for a shift to shared authority. Developments in theory and practice in the field of public history therefore resonate beyond it: they constitute one of the richest bodies of work grappling with the always-contested place of experts, professionals, and intellectuals in American democracy.

ABSTRACT:Detailing a collaboration between middle school students and undergraduate students to create a local civil rights public art/public history project, this essay explores the promises and pitfalls of public historians working in their communities. The Martin Luther King Jr. Day Civil Rights curriculum unit was part of the more extensive People's History of Geneva K–12 Curriculum Project, designed to bring the voices and experiences of underrepresented groups into the city's history and its classrooms. This essay details the curriculum unit's creation and implementation, paying particular attention to three contexts that served to center whiteness in the project's development and implementation.
