Should mention that it was the #DigBlk ( @digblk.bsky.social ) and CCP ( @ccp-org.bsky.social ) principles that made it clear I needed to make this more explicit. Those aforementioned principles were also a first “we might be aight to work together” sign, so they matter!
Welcome to #DigBlk News! This paper highlights just some of the amazing, and informative, Colored Conventions Project Digital Exhibits. These exhibits allow us to take a step back into history and gain insight into various key events. Here are just 5 of the amazing exhibits you can explore!
The Colored Conventions Project was funded, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is a concrete example of why preserving and making these histories accessible matters! #NEH #DigBLK @ccp-org.bsky.social

A "trading card" for Douglass Day 2025 features a photo of Frederick Douglass in his later years, with a large head of graying hair and a goatee. He is wearing a suit with a bow tie. The card says this year's slogan, "You Make History," underneath his name.
