This workshop encouraged participants to draw from the rich writers’ legacies housed in the Spelman College Archives. Participants engaged in an archival scavenger hunt as a method to engage with the primary source documents of Audre Lorde and Toni Cade Bambara, including letters, manuscript drafts, and curricular materials. Together, we considered how the legacies of Lorde and Bambara’s writing might shape our teaching and learning in Atlanta. How can we collaborate to create “ancestor-accountable” scholarship and pedagogy? This is a long-term question, and Dr. Magloire’s workshop was a first step in addressing it together.

This is incredible! I am a student at Loyola University Chicago and I am very passionate about archives, especially in relation Black feminism and Black queer ancestors. Does anyone know how I could contact Dr. Magloire to discuss this further? I have so many questions.
