Afro Free Culture Crowdsourcing Wikimedia (AfroCROWD)is an initiative which seeks to
increase the number of people of African Descents who actively partake in the Wikimedia
and free knowledge, culture and software movements. Since its launch during Black Wiki
History Month in 2015, AfroCROWD has sensitized thousands in its target audience about
free culture crowdsourcing and the need to close the multicultural and gender gaps in
Wikipedia. AfroCROWD has also held monthly multilingual edit-a-thons in partnership with
renowned cultural institutions, museums, galleries, educators, libraries, and archives in
the New York Metro area and beyond. AfroCROWD has also trained future trainers in the
target community.
