“We need our own Archives where important acts and achievements of the past, which are now scattered or pushed into the margins of European history can be assembled; where facts now presented as negative, can be re-presented from our point of view, as positive factors in our liberation.”
— Len Garrison, Co-Founder of Black Cultural Archives
