This exhibit draws inspiration from Ariella Aïsha Azoulay's book of the same title and aims to confront the profound legacy of violence deeply ingrained within museum collections.
The ABC Archives Project (AAP) aims to create and hold space for the preservation, remembrance, and honoring of the ways in which Black people across decades have created, sustained, and evolved through community with each other on Lafayette College's campus. We hope for this project to serve as a host for institutional memory that is and would not be otherwise recorded and as a touchstone for Black students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni to frequent for words of wisdom and the reminder that they are not the first nor will they be the last to navigate through their experiences.
An online exhibition featuring photographs and documents from the College Archives tracing the early history of the Association of Black Collegians at Lafayette College.
