It's a big tent job, ya know?

#BlackDH, for real.

I really appreciate hearing Allie Martin talk about why data sets need to be private and scholars need to refuse certain collections of data. #blackdh

Allie Martin is talking about community access to library of Congress. Some of the folks I work with in Millican didn’t know their ancestor was recorded by Alan Lomax and part of the wpa slave narratives. To hear him sing was amazing- but to hear/see their reactions shifted everything. #blackdh

Allie Martin is standing in front of a slide titled digital humanities and listening more fully to Black life.

Kicking off the #blackdh Black Lit Network conference is Allie Martin.

Starting this evening! I’m so happy to see the launch of the Mellon funded Black Literature network. #blackdh #blacklitnetwork
