Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
John Wilmerding Symposium on American Art and Community Celebration 2022: Afro-Atlantic Histories, Session III: “Blackness is not peripheral to the American project; it is the foundation”
Clint Smith, Renée Stout, and Hank Willis Thomas present on the role
of history and memory in shaping American culture and identity.
This
is the third talk of the three-part series "John Wilmerding Symposium
on American Art: Afro-Atlantic Histories," which gathers literary and
visual artists to reflect on how art responds to and shapes both
official and overlooked narratives wrought by the transatlantic slave
trade and its legacies.
