Howard University Black History Month Edit-a-Thon

Howard University’s Moorland-Spingarn Research Center (MSRC), in collaboration with Wikimedia DC, is organizing and hosting a daylong “Black History Month Edit-a-thon.” The goal of this special Edit-a-thon is to give faculty, graduate students, and others the skills they need to improve or update existing Wikipedia entries relating to African American and African Diasporic history and culture and create vital new ones using the MSRC’s unique collections.
