In this episode hosts Petrouchka Moïse and Laura Wilson delve into multiple aspects of the fragile nature of archival content related to BIPOC histories: they are processed less, preserved less and, with the pending climate emergency, they face the highest risk of destruction before they are shared with the wider public. Our guests Christopher Harter (Amistad Research Center) and Patrick Rasico (Fisk University) talk about their experience of working within archives, and in doing so, tell stories that bring together slavery, American Missionary Association, Fisk Jubilee Singers, Louisianan culture and Hurricane Katrina.
