A263 Contemporary Social Issues in the African American Community - Digital Project Resources

This guide collects resources for creating digital projects that A263 will be doing as part of the ALA Civic Imagination Stations Grant to Dr. Maria Hamilton Abegunde, and IU Libraries.

A263 has created a page in Omeka on the Land, Wealth, Liberation site called Letters to Ourselves: A2632022 Water Epistles. You will need to create your individual or group project pages as subpages of the "Letters to Ourselves" page.
