Save the date! This public conversation - with Ashley Coleman Taylor (UT Austin), Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, and Yomaira C Figueroa-Vásquez - will focus on how Black Puerto Ricans in the diaspora are writing about and reckoning with the legacies of slavery in our work across disciplines/genres. This conversation – largely about memory as well as methods – will have a particular focus on engagement with the archives through traditional and non-traditional means. The event will conclude with a call to action for the audience to engage the archives of Puerto Rican with an appropriate, person-centered ethos of care - and the sharing of resources aimed at increasing access to those archival collections.

RSVP link forthcoming
