Building a Living Archive: Black Youth (Re)Writing Histories in Philadelphia

Hear how Philadelphia teachers are building a living archive in their city alongside students, parents, and community members. In this NWP Radio episode you will learn about a Spencer Foundation funded research practice partnership between the Philadelphia Writing Project, the School district of Philadelphia, and the Colored Girls Museum. This project supports student and teacher inquiry into the histories of Black Philadelphians and creates living content and curriculum, bringing these stories and histories to light throughout the city and into the classroom.
