“Guardians of our History”: A Love Letter to Grassroots Archiving

Answering the call to fill the archives, several heroes take matters into their own hands to address the shortcomings of larger institutions. Interviewees include Frencia Stephenson (We Are Everywhere), Antonio Santos (Gage Park Latinx Council), Patric McCoi, Rainn Thomas, Caryn Robinson, and Parker Haines. Through grassroots archiving initiatives and partnerships, community history projects engage with stories and people that have been ignored, and celebrate the multifaceted, intersectional LGBTQ+ history of our community.
