Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon In-Person
Have a cupcake and learn to transcribe historical documents from the African American Perspectives Collection at the Library of Congress. Collectively, we help to make important moments in Black history more accessible to everyone!
Douglass Day is held annually on the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass. We mark the occasion by celebrating and creating Black history together. This year we will be transcribing materials from the Library of Congress African American Perspectives collection. It includes speeches, sermons, biographies, narratives, and records from the history of Black political activism. It contains writings by Frederick Douglass, William Still, Angelina Grimké Weld–and many more!
All are welcome. Faculty members are encouraged to bring classes.
