In 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, 2023
