Each year, we gather thousands of people to help create new and freely available resources for learning about Black history. We frequently focus on important Black women\u2019s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020) and Mary Church Terrell (2021). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Douglass Day features a transcribe-a-thon of the papers of <a href=\"https:\/\/douglassday.org\/shadd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mary Ann Shadd Cary<\/a> (1823-1893), who &#8220;was one of the earliest Black women to edit a newspaper, serve as a Civil War recruiter, attend law school, and so much more&#8221; according to the Douglass Day website. The organizers of the event &#8220;are pleased to be partnering with the Archives of Ontario, Libraries and Archives Canada, and many others. Together we are presenting newly digitized and fascinating collections from Shadd Cary\u2019s long and fascinating life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Short History of Douglass Day\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cjqfeO2F90c?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event is organized by Transformative Learning in the Humanities and will run at three CUNY campuses.
