We 💛 zines! Come learn more later this month and sign up for courses with historians Diana Sierra Becerra and Kevin Young (Kevin Young), archivist Jeremy Smith and journalism prof Kelsey Whipple!

It’s surreal to see #PrisonersAfterWar on display at #OAH2024 . Stop by the UMass Press table and check out the other titles too. I’ll be on a panel talking about vets who organized for justice and peace on Sat. at 8:45 am.
