Mission
AFRO CHARITIES CARES FOR THE HISTORIC AFRO AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS' ARCHIVE AND CREATES MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH THIS INDISPENSIBLE SET OF RESOURCES.
Program accomplishments
- The development of the historic Upton Mansion includes the restoration of the historic mansion and carriage house, the construction of an annex at the rear of the property, and extensive site work on the grounds. Once complete, the campus will be ADA accessible for the first time in its nearly 200-year history and will become an important economic anchor in a neighborhood that has suffered from generations of disinvestment.Expenses $423,280
- The AFRO Archives have historically been an internal reference archive for AFRO editors and reporters. Afro Charities has taken on the labor- intensive work of converting these materials into a public-facing research archive. To process the collection, we pull files from throughout the collection and arrange them in alphabetical order, working one letter at a time. We make simple interventions to physically stabilize archival documents in the folders.Expenses $334,978 · revenue $1,870
- Afro Charities hosts a biennial artist commissioning project, inviting contemporary artists to explore the AFRO Archives, and supporting their research and artistic production. Artists work is ultimately shown in a public exhibition. Each artist will have 14 months to conduct original research in the AFRO News Archives, and to produce new artwork inspired by their findings. The artists will be provided with technical assistance and generous research, production and materials stipends to support their work.Expenses $29,745
