About the webinar
What does it take to sustain a digital transformation? Dr. Kelisha B. Graves leads the charge in facilitating digital access to the world’s largest repository of primary source material on Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King, and the American civil rights movement to inspire future generations.
As Chief Research, Education, and Programs Officer at The King Center, Dr. Graves discusses the transformative challenges involved in digitizing, cataloguing, and building a platform that preserves and honours the work of Dr. King and Mrs. King. This effort aims to empower today’s changemakers to continue the Kings’ mission of social justice.
