 I'm Dr. Irma McLaurin, and I have a very important question for you today. What are you going to do with your stock? I'm the founder of the Irma McLaurin Black Feminist Archive. My goal is to build an archival home for black women. And the goal is to solicit contributions from women who are activists, artists, scholars, ordinary women, but people who have made many contributions that often go unrecognized. So, what are you going to do with your stock? And I want you to think about all those papers that you wrote and published, the ones that you didn't publish, the poems that you wrote years ago, the letters that you have to friends who may have passed on to the ancestors, manuscripts that you've been working on for years, novels that are finished, novels that are unfinished. Maybe you're even an artist and you have sketches and drawings. What are you going to do with your stuff? Because here's the issue. If we as black women don't believe in the value of what we do, the contributions we've made, the work that we've done, the labor that we've done as activists, as academics, if we don't believe it's worth preserving, then who's going to? And down the road, when we haven't put our things into a collection, someone will come along and pull together all these loose ends and weave together a narrative of your life. And the story they tell may not be the story that you want told. So I'm inviting you to consider becoming an agent of your own self-preservation and to join me and make a contribution of your materials to the Black Feminist Archive. The Irma McLaurin Black Feminist Archive is a collaboration between myself and the Special Collections and University Archives at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. And it's also a collaboration with the W.E.B. Du Bois Center there at UMass as well. So, before you go to bed tonight, I want you to think hard. What do you kind of do with your stuff? Put it in the Black Feminist Archive and make sure that it is preserved.
