51. "RE: OkayActivist Archive-Book Project (1st Summit)" In response to In response to 49
I am extremely excited about this project and believe that it contains a sense of urgency that cannot be ignored.
As to how this idea materializes itself, I agree with Quest4Knowledge in favoring a book over website for the same reasons (which I won't repeat to avoid sounding redundant) and positioning the body of work as "an artifact of activism" as abstrak stated.
As for the format, I'm feeling the broad idea Solarus had about "threading" the information with some type of written text on a given subject. Maybe even having a contributed essay on a given topic (i.e. Black masculinity articulated in Hollywood "buddy films") with archived Okay Activist postings divided somewhat in the way that A. Vansant's "Acts of Faith" is by a given topic (i.e. Black Arts Movement, Afro-Futurism, Love).
