I’m cohosting a community Juneteenth event with @tofutees in Las Vegas at @fergusonsdowntown focused on Black genealogy, oral history, preservation, art, and community memory. We’re building a space where families can preserve their history, kids can create family memories, and the community can reconnect with the people who came before us. Right now I’m raising funds for: scanners & archival supplies solar-powered generators oral history & podcast equipment children’s art supplies tables, tents, & cooling supplies community giveaways & vendor support preservation tools that will continue serving the community after Juneteenth transportation stability for project as we get this going I also created an Amazon registry for people who wanna directly purchase supplies for the event. Anything helps. Every share matters. Every donation matters. Every story saved matters. Because our history deserves more than being forgotten in storage bins and broken hard drives. This is turning history into something alive and tangible. So bring your photos, obituaries, letters, and whatever else you need scanned. Thank you any contribution, including a share. It all means a lot to me.
