We will live stream the event and have instructions to help guests join in the live transcribing efforts. We will also be joined by a guest from the League of Women Voters and have further resources regarding voter registration available in the Hinkle Library Gallery along with Douglass Day themed birthday cakes created and donated by our very own culinary students as part of the Douglass Day Bake Off competition. 

• When: Friday, February 13th
• Where: Hinkle Library Classroom
• Time: 12PM – 3PM

Location is equipped with computers or you cab bring your laptop  to join transcribing efforts. 

Whether you can come for the full three hours or just come for a half hour, we welcome all levels of engagement and hope to have your support with preserving Black history for future generations! 

In addition to our on campus event, we are supporting a button making and awareness event at Kindred Collective in the village of Alfred and the cakes made by our culinary students will further support efforts at regional libraries who are celebrating Douglass Day alongside us, broadening community connection!

The Center for Civic Leadership would like to thank the English and Humanities Department, Culinary Department, Cultural Life and Hinkle Library for your collaborative support in bringing this opportunity to our community! Should you have any questions or should faculty wish to send students for extra credit, please reach out to Cyan Corwine (corwincy@alfredstate.edu) and Dr. Travis Mattison (MattesTW@alfredstate.edu)
