Congrats to @dorothyjberry.bsky.social for winning the Society of American Archivists Waldo Gifford Leland Award for The House Archives Built 🎉 “...given for writing of superior excellence and usefulness in the fields of archival history, theory, and practice.” www2.archivists.org/recipients/2...

”Juneteenth Has Always Been About Black Liberation” by Kaitlyn Greenidge for Harper’s Bazaar. An oral history, as told by members of the Winston-Salem Chapter of The Black Panther Party. www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

Also let me recommend historian Annette Gordon Reed’s “On Juneteenth” for your summer reading list. I felt vindicated reading that Reed, a Texan, always saw Juneteenth as a Texas celebration. Her dive into the complicated history of Texas, slavery, integration & this holiday is riveting.

We are excited to announce the launch of Murmurations: A Trans and Gender Diverse Library Journal!

we’re still 🤩 by the fact that @dorothyjberry.bsky.social and savannah wood were in conversation in person about dorothy’s book the house archives built in baltimore the other week and now we have these beautiful photos by justin timothy temple to share 🌹 www.weherepress.org/baltimore

finally reading this beautiful book - "we constructed a house from static language centered on privileged experiences, and then we applied some cheap siding in the form of hastily thrown-together workarounds and inclusion committees. now we wonder why no one wants to move in and stay."

Recording of a ✨ conversation, hosted by @wehere.bsky.social, in which BIPOC knowledge workers discuss libraries + archives as tools of liberation + sovereignty + epistemological justice; the values that shld inform adoption of new technologies; the community intelligences that can't be AI-ified
