Dear Wiki-Yorkers,

You're invited to attend the Black New York Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, hosted by the Schomburg Center in collaboration with the AfroCROWD User Group and Wikimedia New York City. This year we will focus especially on Black New York, past and present, adding notable figures and places whose content is incomplete or completely missing from Wikipedia.

This Wikipedia training and edit-a-thon will be held in the Aaron Douglas Reading Room of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division on the Court Level (lower level) of the Schomburg Center (515 Malcom X Boulevard), and attendees are welcome to stay for the entire afternoon or drop-in any time between 12pm and 5pm. No prior experience is necessary, but a passion for Black history and culture is highly recommended!
