Archival Researcher
This project is a collaboration between the artist Paul Rucker, the William Wilson Corcoran Visiting Professorship in Community Engagement at George Washington University, and Kevin Patton, Assistant Professor of Interaction Design at George Washington University. Professor Rucker led a class that compiled the research and organized the stories. I was enrolled in the Spring 2021 course and spent hours researching various repositories and digital databases to lend to the research of this project.
“Three Black Wall Streets” was created to bring attention to the vibrant Black communities that were prosperous and self-sustaining, and which no longer exist. This interactive site highlights the key players and moments in history that contributed to the creation of these thriving communities.
