Each module of this website centers our discussions on Digital Blackness. We begin our work on digital Blackness by diving into a variety of Black digital archives.  Given the culture’s respect for being able “to dig in the crates” for music at a party and the political need to recover histories that have been deliberately kept from Black people, it seems most appropriate that we look at the ways digital tools can create a cultural apparatus of giving Black folx their histories back.  This module also introduces the ways that we are building the content of this course/website together. To kick it all the way back to 1980, here are the words of Lakeside: “Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage”... and then again in 1994 with Coolio: “Come on, y'all, let's take a ride, don't you say shit, just get inside” (all that’s missing for us are the wild outfits).
