From 2017 to 2022 he worked as the projects director and executive director for the Davies Manor Association, where he led the development of the award-winning exhibit, Omitted in Mass: Rediscovering Lost Narratives of Enslavement, Migration, and Memory Through the Davies Family’s Papers.

Review :
“Andrew Ross’s analysis is original and insightful, and it makes a significant contribution to examinations of Tennessee life. Focusing on the interior lives of individual African Americans connected as enslaved, free, or freed people to the Davies family, The Realms of Oblivion explores race and class in the rural South.” - Beverly G. Bond, editor of Remembering the Memphis Massacre: An American Story “The Realms of Oblivion follows a trend of exciting scholarship that uses micro-histories, specifically family histories, to analyze the history of westward expansion, plantation slavery, and disunion.” - Jessica Blake, assistant professor of history, Austin Peay State University
