Join us at the BAM Hamm Archives for a guided tour with archivist Zakiya Collier. The tour takes a close look at The Black Book, an encyclopedic survey of the Black experience in America from 1619 through the 1940s, which Toni Morrison edited while at Random House. Stay for a post-tour conversation with Collier.
This is a free event with limited space. RSVP is required. Please note this event takes place offsite at the BAM Hamm Archives in Crown Heights: 1000 Dean Street, #317, Brooklyn.
Zakiya Collier is a digital archivist at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, where she uses web archiving tools to expand the nature of Black archival collections to reflect 21st-century Black life and experiences. In her research and work as a Black queer memory worker, Collier is passionate about the uncovering of ancestral memory and preservation traditions and the development of new archival practices that account for the material conditions of Black life.
