    “Harvey Mansfield is a Harvard treasure, a one-man antidote to liberal complacency.” – Michael J. Sandel Which way, modern man? Taught for decades to rapt classrooms, Harvey C. Mansfield’s legendary Harvard course on political philosophy has informed and influenced generations
    A photo of Harvey C. Mansfield's newest book, The Rise and Fall of Rational Control. On the cover, a shattered medallion of Niccolo Machiavelli. In the background, a blurry bookshelf within Widener Library at Harvard University. The mood is dark and academic.

    "History is not about the past; it is about arguments we have about the past. And because it is about arguments that we have, it is about us." — Ira Berlin, The Long Emancipation.

    RIP Ira Berlin (1941-2018). Historian and Professor Emeritus at University of Maryland. I met him only once when he attended my Slavery Seminar at Howard. His work influenced at least three generations of scholars of slavery and will continue impacting the field. #slaveryarchive
