Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon 2022
February 10, 2022
Focus on women pictured at the national colored convention at Washington D.C.
Oberlin College Libraries will celebrate Frederick Douglass’ birthday by participating in the Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon event on Monday, Feb. 14, 2022. This year's theme is “Black Women in the Colored Conventions.” We will transcribe the records of the Colored Conventions, the nineteenth century’s longest campaign for Black civil rights. Together we can learn about the long history of Black activism — including the important roles of Black women in the conventions.
Register for OCL's virtual transcription event & join us in this collective act of radical love for Black history.
