Join Yale University Library in partnership with MIT Libraries and Yale Architecture Masters of Environmental Design Working Group for AntiRacism February 22 - 26 for the BIPOC in the Built Virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon and learn about the initiative that started summer 2020 at MIT. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who have left their mark on the fields of art, architecture, art history, graphic design, activism, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, dance, and more connected to the built environment will have pages created and/or edited throughout the week. After a short introduction held live via Zoom on February 22nd, stay for the kick off of our week-long virtual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon where attendees can participate in training and events that will build community around creating new and edit existing Wikipedia pages.
