DALE RICARDO SHIELDS

ARCHIVIST / HISTORIAN / ARTISTIC ACTIVIST

As America reckons with generations of racial injustice, destroyed and hidden history… the stories that we will preserve, present and honor are the very things that will hopefully foster world empathy, change lives and ensure that our next generations of Americans have a different and positive view of themselves and their neighbors.

Each of us must be a motivating catalyst, an actor for justice and an agent of change.

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”

“We are a people.
A people do not throw their geniuses away.
And if they are thrown away, it is our duty as artists and as witnesses for the future to collect them again for the sake of our children, and, if necessary, bone by bone.”

– Alice Walker
