The Black Archive Project: Chicago Uprisings 2020
Google ‘ Tulsa Massacre,’ and see the number of ‘reported deaths.’ 36. This brutal and senseless mass murdering of Black people was all but erased from history until recently. Those who survived say more than 300 people were murdered this day–but no one really knows, as the bodies are still missing. Historical records also went missing. False accounts emerged.
The Black Archive Project: Chicago Uprisings is an attempt to restructure who holds the right to our history as Black people. It is important that we document our history as it unfolds so we stand a chance against the whiteness that will try to erase our experiences
