Abstract
Presentation of a collaboratively developed Museum in a Box collection, which showcases the critical works of W. E. B. Du Bois - scholar, writer, editor of The Crisis and other journals, co-founder of the Niagara Movement, the NAACP, and several Pan African Congresses. An international spokesperson for peace and for the rights of oppressed people everywhere, W. E. B. Du Bois provides a framework of critical scholarship, supporting current dialog on systemic racism, legacies of colonialism, and social justice. This presentation includes an overview of establishing partnerships between international organizations, content selection, technology required, and the dramatic shift in production work amidst pandemic lockdown.
