Quiet march for archives: walk the names, then fund the folders
A peaceful daylight walk is being planned from local war memorials to public libraries in each partner city. The point is not spectacle. Walkers carry cards with a name from the archives — a Buffalo Soldier private, a UNIA branch secretary, a market-woman organizer, a CPP volunteer — and end by donating toward digitizing one folder of papers. If you can secure a permit, a historian, or a matching gift, write it here so we can keep the event dignified and useful.
Philadelphia can begin at the 24th Infantry memorial plaque and end at the Free Library’s African American collection desk.
