An archive in the TRC tradition
An archive in the Truth & Reconciliation tradition — testimony, sourced history, and civil-rights pathways.
A documentary platform for the persistence of racial injustice and the institutions resisting it. Curated testimony, sourced history, and verified civil-rights pathways — built in the shape of South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Commission, the ACLU, and the Equal Justice Initiative.
