100 Years of Fire!!: Young, Gifted, and Queer
A century later, Fire!! still burns. This project gathers the magazine’s public-domain texts and surrounding archival traces to map Harlem as a living network of art, nightlife, and survival.
Built for teaching, student-project building, and collective study, it lifts up young Blackqueer creators too often left as fragments.
Project Creator: Cortnie S. Belser, Manifold Graduate Fellow.
Cortnie uses Black Studies archival praxis (Black feminist, Black history, and BlackCrit) and interdisciplinary digital humanities pedagogies to inform her project reclamations and recovery designs. She is concerned with excavating buried blueprints of Black education history, culture, and pedagogies.
