Archival Research on Black Legacy at Cal
Black Lives at Cal (BLAC) is a multi-year initiative to celebrate, defend, and advance the legacy of Black people at the University of California, Berkeley, since the university’s founding in 1868. This summer’s work will involve growing our inventory of archival sources which may involve oral history interviews. We will also be working on the website our group created and adding more information to it that contributes as a whole to the website’s design.
