The Triad Black Lives Matter Collection was selected to receive the 2023 Voices of a City Local History Award, an award presented by Greensboro History Museum, Inc. for important contributions to local history by individuals or groups. The purpose of the Triad Black Lives Matters Collection is to document the BLM movement, police brutality protests, and race relations in the Triad area of North Carolina.
The collection contains digital photographs and video footage relating to the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests following the 2020 death of George Floyd. The project is coordinated by Stacey Krim, Assistant Professor and Curator of Manuscripts and Cello Music in the Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives.
Awards will be presented at the Greensboro History Museum, Inc. Annual Dinner on October 25.
