        So sorry to hear of her passing. Met her at an AHA minority historians cocktail way back when I was on the market in 06. She had sage advice. She was really good people.

        Oh my god -- this is terrible news. She was so helpful to me when I moved to NYC in the early 2000s. This is such a shock. Is there more news on her passing?

        Happy to do it! I love the things you do @jimdowns1. And thank you for getting Catherine a birthday dessert at OAH. I hoped someone would. Wish I could have been there.

        Thank you for doing this. Maybe Department Chairs and Deans could also help fund some Thea Hunter Memorial Lines?

        Read about Thea Hunter in The Atlantic. So sad. But this abuse and relentless discrimination by academia needs to be exposed. I send my best spiritual wishes and love. Migdia Chinea, director/ screenwriter. WHEN IT RAINS.
