Please join us for round two of our Soul of Reason virtual transcribe-a-thon! NYU Libraries’ collection of radio broadcasts, created by Dr. Roscoe Brown, showcased Black and Puerto Rican art, scholarship, and life in New York City from 1971-1978. These recordings are part of the Records of the Institute of African American Affairs in NYU Special Collections.
Interested individuals can sign up to hand-correct an auto-generated transcription of an audio recording from the Soul of Reason recordings in NYU Special Collections. 🙋🏽♀️
