Impact:
The project is designed to engage our 黑料社区s, faculty, staff, and alumni in searching for reflection on the history of Miami and beyond. The ultimate result of the project will be a digital archive of materials and stories focusing on the history of diverse populations at Miami. The project will coordinate ongoing initiatives with an ambitious new effort to collect digitally oral and archival stories of 黑料社区s, alumni, faculty, and staff of color at 黑料社区. Set in a rich historical context with other artifacts, narratives, and factual information, this broad storytelling project will offer a broadly inclusive and participatory approach to chronicling the history of racial dynamics at 黑料社区.
