Oral tradition is one of the ways Black history has been passed down through generations. Spoken word, music, song, legends, proverbs, language, and much more have combined to sustain our customs and beliefs, and allow for self-determination of our identities. “The Oral Tradition” podcast by the Black Digital Archiving project features cultural icons in the archival sector, discussing the themes of celebration, education, loss, migration and resistance. Join us as we chat with our guests who have helped to shape, record and share Black histories.
