- Abstract
This collection of essays is the result of several years of intersecting projects and work in the Atlanta regional community that brought the two of us together first within the Kennesaw State University Sturgis Library system and within various projects Jesse was running between Kennesaw State University and the Walter Rodney Foundation at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library. Steven started building cultural programming within the spaces he could find at the KSU Library, and we found ways together to use various resources for documenting and filming and editing around the intersectional events we were collaborating on for the Spring Walter Rodney Public Speakers Series, the annual Walter Rodney Symposium, the Afro-Latino Lecture Series, and other projects. The culturally specific programming and research and networking Steven was engaging in quickly led to a series of regional conferences and related events, collaborations with the Walter Rodney Speakers Series and several other local institutions, and increasingly with people, researchers, and institutions all over the country and the hemisphere. People and communities rapidly engaged and took up the space that had been created and hundreds of people started participating in these events and collectively opening space for simultaneously new but old conversations. This collection is one of the fruits of this work and these collaborations.
