Building and transferring movement informational wealth: The sncc digital gateway
Abstract
When activists know there is a big hole in a people’s history, and those who made
the history are still alive to tell it, yet have concerns about the ability of historians
and universities to accept new avenues of producing knowledge, how does the group
set up an archive-building project? This essay explores one such attempt made between
the SNCC Legacy Project and Duke University between 2013 and 2018. This digital documentary
project made and makes possible a critical transfer of informational wealth from SNCC
veterans to current and future generations of civic actors.
