In my new article in @TheBlackSchlr,I talk about what it was like to try to track down Moore’s archive, what we REALLY mean when we say a Black woman doesn’t have an archive, and ask do we really want radicals like Moore to be confined to one repository?

🧵If #RosaParks was the mother of the Civil Rights Movement, then Queen Mother Audley Moore midwifed modern Black Nationalism. Moore lived for almost 100 years. Her career spanned Garvey’s UNIA to the Million Man March. Yet, WHERE the records of her life are remains a mystery..

We are hopeful that folks take in and, most importantly, act upon (!!) the call to action that we outline in the article. Centering care and attending to and interrupting harm in and by archives should be obvious guiding principles for both archivists and historians.

Many, many thanks to @drashleyfarmer for orchestrating this important collaboration! This is a 3-part piece: an interview between Dr. Farmer and collective members, a case study about our partnership with @HoneyPotPerf and a call to action for historians and memory workers.

🧵about 1.5 years ago I asked @blackivists if they would be interested in collectively thinking through both #Archiving While Black and being a Black Archivist for an issue of the @AmHistReview on "Confronting the Past." As a fangirl, I was so happy they agreed!
