The HistoryMakers, the nation’s largest African American video oral history archive has made this loss prevention its mission over the past 20 years. Yet, it finds itself in 2020 — its 20th anniversary year, in a race against time. To increase public understanding and awareness of this crisis, The HistoryMakers is hosting a virtual convening of some of the nation’s top African American thought leadership. Hosted on YouTube and Facebook, The HistoryMakers 20@2020: 20 Days and 20 Nights (Tuesday, December 1 – Sunday, December 20) continues to shine a light on the urgency of this issue as well as provide a first time, behind the scenes view of The HistoryMakers organization, its digital archive and educational initiatives and its iconic An Evening With… PBS-TV programs.
