In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Maryemma Graham from the History of Black Writing Project at the University of Kansas. Graham is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of English. Dr. Graham and her project is a fascinating case study in the complex legacy linked to race and digital humanities. She turned to “digital” methods before it was “digital humanities” and as such her project has a long, but surprisingly not well known history. In 1983 she founded the project with the goal documenting black literary works. The project moved to the University of Kansas in 1999. In our conversation, she recounts the origins of this project and the potential impact on our understanding of the black literary legacy in the United States.
