Projects
Pittsburgh and the Great Migration: Black Mobility and the Automobile
As a Publication Assistant and a Research Assistant for the Frick Pittsburgh, I researched and obtained photography credits for the Pittsburgh and the Great Migration Exhibit which opened on May 6, 2023 in the Car and Carriage Museum. In addition, I created a timeline of both known and obscure African American events that coincided with the first and second waves of the Great Migration from 1915-1955, which is a feature part of the exhibit. I also served as a proofreader and oversaw due dates for the accompanying museum catalog entitled Pittsburgh and the Great Migration: Black Mobility and the Automobile.
The Intersection of Race and Disability Project
As Project Scholar for the Western Pennsylvania Disability History and Action Consortium's Intersection of Race and Disability Project, I researched, documented, and collected the oral histories of five BIPOCs from Western Pennsylvania who llive att the intersection of race and disability.
The Larimer Corner Stories Project
As the oral historian for the Larimer Cornerstories Project, I am capturing the stories six residents of the Larimer neighborhood in Pittsburgh, to discover the Larimer of the past, present, and future.
The Frick Pittsburgh: Clayton Reinterpretation
As the inaugural Chip Burke Family Research Fellow for the Frick Pittsburgh, I researched the lives of African Americans who lived in Pittsburgh during the Gilded Age. This research aided in the re-imagination of Clayton Mansion to include a more inclusive story of the men and women living outside the grandeur of families such as the Fricks.
