BlackBoard
Northwestern University’s Black Student Magazine.
BLackBoard Magazine: Worldmaking Edition
We created our interactive virtual fall 2020 magazine in the spirit of radical revolution. We asked students and professors what carceral worldmaking and racial worldmaking looks like to them, and what place the electoral system, academic institutions and Black capitalism should have. This issue is dedicated to the Black community and our co-conspirators envisioning an equitable world.
