This moment calls for cooperative archiving efforts based on care and accountability for the impacted communities and a rejection of archiving attempts that fail to center the Black experience. We invite Black memory workers to join this call to action.

What does it mean to be a #museum? For our member @NAGBahamas it is being a safe space for your community. In the wake of #Dorian, the National Art Gallery (Bahamas) is offering mental health relief and seeks aid from professionals around the world.
