CONTENT WARNING:

At the Meek Eaton Black Archives, some of our collections contain descriptions, documentation, and representations of historical events and cultural beliefs that can be difficult to encounter. While often unsettling, this content is preserved to support a fuller, more contextual understanding of the world.

Some materials may include offensive or harmful visual, written, or audio content, as well as depictions that misrepresent individuals and communities. We recognize that this content may be triggering or upsetting, and strive to present it with care, empathy, and context. Additionally, many historical materials reflect the biases, language, and values of their time—perspectives that do not align with the current values and practices of the Meek Eaton Black Archives.

We are committed to minimizing harm and acknowledging the impact this content may have on individuals, families, and communities. If you encounter content you find troubling, please share feedback through our email at blackarchives@famu.edu.
