    For my assignment, I will be making an archive collecting history of black queerness/trans ness in the United States. This will be highlighting history, defining erasure, and adhering to the theme of forgotten-ness (who forgets, is hiding intentional, am I the one who is forgetting) I will then do a paper on the procedures taken to find the artifacts, their relevance to the topic, and their significance in the world.
