Members of the Wilkes community will take an active role in preserving Black history during this nationwide transcribe-a-thon.
The event, which honors both Frederick Douglass Day and Black History Month, will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15, in Breiseth Hall room 105.
This year’s event focuses on transcribing the records of the Colored Conventions, the longest-running 19th-century campaign for Black civil rights.
Wilkes students, faculty and staff are welcome to participate in the transcribing session.
