We will gather during this hybrid event to transcribe primary source materials related to Black history. Previous events have focused on the papers of significant figures like Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, and Mary Ann Shadd Cary. Training on the transcription of primary source materials will be provided. Bring a laptop! Participants may come or leave at any time during the event. Learn more about Douglass Day at douglassday.org.
