This federal Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) provides $249,963 to the University of Texas at Austin to create and publicize an open-access digital archive and website titled "Building Community, Fighting Exclusion: Black Cuban Oral History Project, 1959-Present." The project will digitize and analyze oral histories to document how Afro-Latinx communities were affected by housing and school segregation, Jim Crow laws, intra-ethnic racism, and post-Civil Rights racial politics. The website will serve as an essential historical resource for researchers, K-12 and college instructors through videos, maps, and family histories. The project will run from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
