Greetings Colleagues, Carolyn Hart, AUC Woodruff Library (GA), shares the exciting news below. Sandra AUC Woodruff Library and Project STAND Award $80,000 in Micro-grants to Digitize BIPOC Student Activism The Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library and Project STAND are pleased to announce the recipients of the Digital Flowers Shout Out (DFSO) Micro-grant Initiative. The DFSO Micro-grants are intended to recognize student organizers who have held institutions and communities accountable over a long history of racism, inequality and injustices by sharing their stories broadly with the world while "giving them their flowers." Micro-grants awarded by the AUC Woodruff Library and Project STAND will support organizations and institutions in making the histories and contributions of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) student activists and their organizations accessible through digitization projects totaling up to $80,000. The awardees' projects range in scope and provide increased awareness of essential accounts of activists - documenting various themes such as protests and demonstrations, cross-cultural collaborations, traditions, inter-generational dialog, and many others. This project was generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
