Hello. I joined Wikipedia in 2009. The first article I ever edited was Arthur Cravan (poet, boxer, troublemaker), after I wrote a paper about him in college. I typically contribute to articles related to history, cultural heritage, and the arts. I enjoy reading Wikipedia, and I often edit articles I happen to be reading.
Previous activities
From 2012 to 2014, I contributed heavily to the Lists of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, and I still contribute intermittently.
In 2020 I created the article Bruce Johnson (minister) after learning about Johnson in the 2019 documentary film The First Rainbow Coalition by Ray Santisteban. Johnson was a Methodist minister who worked closely with the Young Lords in Chicago before he and his wife were murdered in their home in 1969.
In 2020 I created the category Self-taught artists (as distinct from Outsider artists, Naïve painters, and Folk artists).
I have participated in the following Wikipedia Edit-a-thons:
- Historic LA Buildings, 11 June 2020, hosted by the UCLA Library and the Los Angeles Public Library
- Black Artists Matter, 11 August 2020, hosted by the National Museum of Women in the Arts
Future plans
- I'd like to start an article for Atlanta, Georgia.
- I'd like to start (or help work on) articles for the Women Students and Artists for Black Art Liberation (WSABAL). (Some info can be found on the Art Strikepage.)
- I'd like to help expand Wikipedia's content on topics related to tenant organizing, such as tenants unions and rent strikes.
Wikimedia Commons
I contribute images relating to printmaking, book arts, and other topics to the Wikimedia Commons. Here are some of my contributions:
