Send us a textIn this episode, we talk with Sherry Antoine (Executive Director of AfroCROWD), Laurie Bridges (Instruction and Outreach librarian at Oregon State University), and Diana Park (Science Librarian at Oregon State University) about their work to RIGHT history by writing Black history into Wikipedia. Learn about what is happening in libraries and partner organizations to further representation of Black folx (and all Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). Wikipedia is one of the first results that comes up when we search the web, while still often disregarded for its ability to allow anyone to add information to the large system of knowledge. That ability, for ALL to contribute to this repository of information and history, provides a new way to fight for social justice and Black futures.Date of interview:  February 13, 2023Hosts: Melissa Anderson and Brittany Young Links mentioned in this episode:  AfroCROWD AfroCROWD Events Oregon Black PioneersWriting African American History Into Wikipedia Link to the  EDI & ANTIRACISM TOOLKIT
