The Localized History Project website lists our exhibits chronologically as well as geographically by neighborhood. On the chronological list, you can filter exhibits by community, class, time period, and more. Almost all exhibits have educator guides — compilations of primary and secondary sources created by LHP youth for easily printing and integrating into existing classroom materials.

The Black Women Radicals Database (BWRD) historizes and visualizes Black women’s radical political activism in Africa and in the African Diaspora in efforts to build academic, political, and community engagement, dialogue, knowledge production, research, and education about Black women’s significant legacies as socio-political agents of radical change. By housing a database of historical and transnational Black women activists and leaders, the BWRD seeks to overcome the erasure of Black women’s political leadership, organizing, theorizing, and socio-political movement building in Africa and in the African Diaspora that has often been ignored in favor of Black and white cis-heteronormative male charismatic leadership, especially in the field of Black Politics.
BWRD serves as a vehicle to center Black women’s historical political memory, scholarship, epistemologies, and leadership in socio-political movements that may not be taught in academia and in community and public spaces. The Database is free for educational use.
The School for Black Feminist Politics (SBFP) is a Black feminist political education initiative and hub powered by Black Women Radicals. Established in 2020, the mission of SBFP is to empower Black Feminisms in Black Politics by expanding the field from transnational, intersectional, and multidisciplinary perspectives. The SBFP’s goal is to illuminate what has often been obscured and neglected in regards to our Black feminist histories, political memories, and productions, so that our past, present, and future understandings of Black feminist thought and behavior can be understood more fully and completely. The SBFP focuses on the transnational, historical, and contemporary Black feminist political thought and behavior to further build a frame of reference for Black Politics–one that extends beyond academia. Moreover, the SBFP seeks to explore, amplify, and illuminate global Black feminist politics and movement building through our community-oriented events; teach-ins led by Black feminist artists, activists, creatives, and educators; and through research and scholarship on and about Black feminisms. You can follow the School for Black Feminist Politics on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Black & Asian Solidarities (2024 Zine by Pim Singhatiraj)
“Black & Asian Solidarities” is a zine, created by author/artist/educator Pim Singhatiraj, sharing a visually appealing and succinct history of oppression and struggle that Black and Asian people have faced in America, the social and political movements they’ve been a part of, how these movements have converged and why “we must continue this work of cross-cultural, cross-racial solidarity, as nobody is free until everybody is free”.
