Documenting Our Histories

Stories. Histories. What differentiates one from the other? And, why are they so important to document? With so much going on right now - India’s coronavirus surge, the free Palestine movement, BLM, Stop Asian Hate, and so much more - sharing and saving our stories are more important to presenting history fairly, than ever before.
