Abstract
Notes
The D.C. Africana Archives Project is a partnership
between six archives throughout Washington, D.C. to
enhance access to previously unavailable research materials
documenting the history of the African diaspora in D.C.,
the civil rights movements, the struggle for Home Rule,
the rise of Black-owned businesses, the development of
Howard University, slavery in the nation’s capital, jazz
music in D.C., and the literary arts. This roundtable
discussion will cover the sustainability of such a project
and the successes and challenges for different stakeholders.
