Digital Humanities

Beyond the pulpit and academy, I am committed to public scholarship through the preservation and accessibility of African American religious history. By leveraging digital humanities, my work bridges rare archival materials with public-facing tools to amplify Black voices and institutional traditions. The following selection highlights projects and scholarship contributed during my tenure at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library.

My work involved authoritative historical context and descriptive curation to ensure these digitized archives remain accessible to global scholars and community partners.
