Seattle Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
The following description comes from the event organizer.
Wa Na Wari and The Grocery are partnering with BLT to increase the visibility of Black artists from the PNW on Wikipedia.
The Black Lunch Table (BLT) is an oral-history archiving project focused on the lives and work of black artists. The work of the Black Lunch Table includes oral archiving, salons, peer teaching workshops, meetups, and Wikipedia edit-a-thons. The BLT brings people together to engage in dialogues about the writing, recording, and promoting inclusive art history.] One aim of the Black Lunch Table project is to address the racial and gender bias on Wikipedia by encouraging Wikipedia articles about African American artists.
