Beth Howse was MY Archivist.

Beth Madison Howse was the archivist who inspired The Archivist. Quiet and generally unassuming, her personality was almost the polar opposite of mine when we met on the Fisk University campus in 1999. Hear how her lifelong preservation of all things Black inspired my passion for history, HBCUs, and this podcast. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Listen to The Archivist break down why white neither white love nor black respectability will save black people from white supremacy. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
