Testimonials

Testimonials from AfroCROWD editors and partners:

AfroCROWDer, Linda Fletcher:

“I have found the work that Afrocrowd does to be useful and rewarding. I am a strong supporter and have attended many of the edit-thons and events. Attending the events have helped me in developing research skills.

By researching the work of others I have gained a deep appreciation for the work and commitment that people have made to improve the lives of others.

Writing Wikipedia articles have given me knowledge to share with others on and off line.”

AfroCROWDer Grey Jones:

I participate with AfroCROWD for “Community: I like connecting with black folks to correct inaccuracies about the American historical narrative.”

AfroCROWDer, now partner, Clairesa Clay, BLERD:

“I have participated in AfroCrowd events for two reasons: 1. The ability to insure, effect, and memorialize the digital Footprint of African diaspora history and 2. Thankful that AfroCrowd can provide the knowledge for me to make entries on Wikipedia- a possibility I did not think [available] before.”

AfroCROWD Partner, Adon Davis, Accenture:

"It was a pleasure working with [AfroCROWD]. This event was very well received by the attendees and we all learned a lot. Thank you for such a productive section."

AfroCROWD Partner, Helen Lane, Fashion Institute of Technology:

“The best decision I made as the organizer of International Women's Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Fashion Institute of Technology, was to join forces with AfroCROWD... Their established network of volunteers, their drive to recruit participants and their on-the-ground assistance and leadership made the event the success that it was. I can't say enough good things about the energy and focus of Sherry Antoine and Alice Baker.”
