Historical scholarship reaches its greatest impact when it is shared with diverse audiences. In March 2025, historian and author Ric Murphy was invited to present at the National Council on Public History Annual Meeting in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The conference brings together historians, educators, archivists, museum professionals, genealogists, and public history practitioners from across North America and beyond. Murphy’s invitation reflects growing recognition of his expertise in African American history, genealogy, military service, and historical preservation.
His participation provided an opportunity to engage with leading scholars and professionals while highlighting stories that are often absent from mainstream historical narratives. Through his presentations and discussions, Murphy continues his mission of connecting historical research with public understanding.
For readers who appreciate authors actively contributing to scholarly dialogue and public education, Ric Murphy’s work offers an opportunity to learn from one of today’s most dedicated historical researchers.
