Defining Safe: Reclaiming power through family-archiving

What do you know about your parents? Your grandparents? The generations of people who came before you? For many, the past isn’t just in the past. Je-Shawna Wholley, last year’s “Feminist in Residence” at Northwestern’s Women’s Center, led a Black family-archiving project called “Earthseed,” which walked participants through nine months of workshops, research and interviews with family members. Participants presented their final projects in June.
