We’ve just uploaded 350+ new deeds with racist covenants that need YOUR help getting logged. And look! As the amazing @rootandradish shows us, you can even involve the little ones! For a refresher on how to log a deed or if this is your first time, it’s a piece of cake and anyone can do it, just check out our IGTV channel for a short training video and log onto MappingCville.com to get started!!
On Monday, having glimpsed the economic monsoon that COVID-19 is bringing upon us, Margo Bulka and I launched the SupportCville.com site in an attempt to aggregate all of the ways people can provide and receive help. In just four days, we’ve had nearly 6,000 unique page views. We will get through this together.
Engaging w/ 180+ 11th graders earlier this month, I found myself thinking back to 16-yr old Jordy. What would've reached him? What would've landed? I hope I would've been as on point as these students. But I can't lie—these kids are LEAPS & BOUNDS above me. That gives me belief. Some feedback from the teens: "It was cool to see the history of transactions in Charlottesville. I'm glad I can help contribute to finding out my hometown's history, it means a lot. I hope what I did helps our society and our community unravel truth." "It felt good contributing to authentic research. I felt like I was a part of something bigger and better than myself. When people find out what I learned today, then they'll learn a lot." "We should be going back to look at these old records to get this history right. If we come together [over these facts], we can create true equity [in Charlottesville]." "It felt enlightening and empowering....It felt like I was in the past decoding an actual document." "It felt good to do something useful for people...it just felt refreshing to do something to help at school."
Join us for another Mapping Cville training session and logging session. • WHEN: Wednesday, February 26th @ 6PM • WHERE: Decipher Brewing, 1740 Broadway Street, Charlottesville As if you need more of an incentive to come — Morgan Ashcom, who manages the warehouse where the brewery is located, says it will pay for the first beer for everyone who logs a deed. And it will cover the whole tab of the person who logs the most deeds. For Mapping Cville updates, including a recent 2-day visit to CHS, see the latest edition of our newsletter. As always, the sign-up is in the Bio
