Before the archive visit:

Imagine putting things into a time capsule for Black people trying to figure out what was important to your generation. They must learn about your culture, values, traditions, history, and interests. It’s your job to equip these people with information so they grasp who we are as a people.

Directions:

Before going to visit the archives

1. Add things to the Padlet that would help Black people in the future understand who we are.

Examples: Music, speeches, videos, traditions, news, fashion, books, images, historical and cultural moments, quotes, etc.

After adding to the Padlet answer these questions with your group.

1. Why did you choose to add what you added?

2. What did you leave out and why was it important to omit it?

3. Looking at the completed Padlet, what would you think of Black people?
