We are not waiting for institutions to tell our story. We’re writing it ourselves.

Here’s how you can help:
Donate – Because every dollar is an act of resistance.
Send Documents – Family letters, deeds, records, obituaries, cursive, print, etc.—we’ll archive them before they’re lost.
Share this so our history isn’t erased in silence.

To do this, we need Kindex—a tool that lets us store, transcribe, and own our records. It costs $700(it was the sign at RootsTech but I’m the site says $10 a month at most)for 3 years, and $5 for every 20 documents we transcribe.

That’s why I’m building our own archive. A space where Black history is preserved, protected, and accessible without permission from institutions that never cared about us in the first place. Why are their Black archives hidden behind student IDs in places that once didn’t allow Black people in?

The current administration is gutting archives, banning books, and rewriting history to make Black pain invisible. To make Black resilience irrelevant. To make Black joy on existent. I’m trying to make the proper moves so our history doesn’t get erased…again.
