African American history has always been a revolutionary undertakinng. From its 19th century origins, it has always challenged probelematic conceptions of Black people and worked to provide more complex and nunaced presentations of the Black past. Rather than a mystery, Black history is vibrant, engaging and can be found in the most visbile archives in the country and in the homes, closets and attics of countless African Americans across the country and thrughout the African Diaspora. It is truly a communal history.
