Strange Bedfellows wins Saber & Scroll Journal Editor’s Choice Award!

This the letter that accompanied the award:

“I am starting a new tradition at the Journal, an Editor’s Choice Award . . . The winning article must demonstrate excellence in organization, style, research, a powerful thesis statement, and require only limited editing. I believe your paper, Strange Bedfellows: Nativism, Know-Nothings, African-Americans and School Desegregation in Antebellum Massachusetts, in Volume 6, Issue 2, is the best submission the Saber & Scroll Journal received in my two years as EIC.”                          — Michael Makerczyk, Editor-in-Chief, July 18, 2018
