Archiving the Black Web National Forum

April 29-30th, 2021

The forum is funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and will focus on strategies for collecting and preserving Black history and culture online as well as developing a community of practice for Black cultural memory organizations and practitioners interested in web archiving. The culturally relevant yet highly ephemeral nature of web-published content by and about Black people is at risk of being lost forever and as part of this forum we plan to not only discuss preservation practices for Black web content but discuss the history and future of how Black people participate in online spaces.

The project is being led by the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, in partnership with Shift Collective, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Spelman College Archives, Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History, Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center, and the African American Museum and Library at Oakland.

Here’s an event that you do not want to miss!! Gonna be lots of jewels dropping!!

“How Long Till Black Futures Month:

Honoring Black History, Cultivating Black Futures“

Just Talk/Talk Just– Webinar Series

Mark You Calendars and Save the Date!!

February 9th, 2021 at 7 pm/ET

What do you get when you put Afrofuturism, Social Activism, and Black History together…you get a panel on “How Long Till Black Futures Month: Honoring Black History, Cultivating Black Futures” as part of the Just Talk/Talk Just series! This series is hosted by Union Presbyterian Seminary and co-sponsored by The Center for Social Justice and Reconciliation & The Katie Geneva Cannon Center for Womanist Leadership.

Now for folks that know me, they know I love geeking out about Black Futures and even more about its relationship with Black History (hence the name of this site ‘Black Future Feminist’). So it is without question that I am very excited to virtually sit with some forward thinking minds and participate in this soul-stirring, out of this world panel!!

You can stream and get more information about the event here!!

And remember although February is the month (here in the US) that we formally celebrate Black History (major thanks to Carter G. Woodson) just know that Black History is 365 day effort!!
