Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
The work of the Archives was honored by the 25th Annual <a
href="http://www.penoakland.com/">PEN Oakland</a> awards this
weekend. The award was to recognize our work challenging censorship
- based on our ongoing news and prison information and for our
addressing subjugated history. Archives co-founder Lincoln Bergman
accepted the award on our behalf. Claude Marks and Nathaniel Moore
also attended and were joined by founders Nancy Barrett and Nina
Serrano to share the honor. Oakland PEN is dedicated to “dispel
race, class and national hatreds and to champion the ideal of one
humanity living in peace in the world,” with special emphasis on
multicultural achievements. <br>
<br>
As we sum up this successful year for the Freedom Archives, we thank
you for your support, for attending our events, visiting our new
search site, and for all of your contributions to make our work more
dynamic and relevant to the many struggles of the present and
future.<br>
<br>
We know you’ll agree that this exciting work needs to continue and
its impact deepen and grow.<br>
<br>
Our deepest hope for this work is tied to newer generations
accessing and using our materials to broaden their vision of a more
just future. Our many interns and volunteers learn about a history
of resistance that also supports their work and vision.<br>
