Elders are passing on and taking critical oral tradition with them. Further, younger generations are becoming politicized, yet digital divides are keeping us from tapping in with our elders. Specifically in the context of our relationship to land in this country, now more than ever, we need a record of our ancestors’ forced contributions to this country and how they are experts on its care and cultivation. This oral-history project will build upon models like Slave Narratives by the Federal Writers’ Project, with a specific focus on agrarian strategies/practices, relationships to land, and Black sustainability. Through this initiative, Brea Baker will leverage the people most trusted by Black elders—their children, grandchildren, and other loved ones—to create a new record for generations to come. In doing so, we can also revive organic intergenerational relationships. This project will collect oral history through three methods: digitally, in-person, and through a targeted “Call An Elder” campaign that will reach major cultural events, faith centers, and HBCU campuses to collect submissions from Black people of all ages. Subsequently, all interviews will be transcribed by theme and geography, and packaged in multiple formats including zines and family-reunion-style books. All interviews will be open data for Black people to explore both domestically and internationally.
