ATLANTA, GA
.-The Spelman College Archives will be the new repository for African Voices, a literary magazine devoted to publishing emerging writers and visual artists of color from the diaspora.
Founded in 1992, African Voices Communications, Inc., a nonprofit arts institution, publishes one of the few surviving print magazines documenting Black art, literature and culture.
Past editions of the magazine, along with organizational records, videos and digitized photographs that span three decades, will be preserved by Spelman College, alongside a historical archive of the Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival & Lecture Series, the first Academy Awards qualifying film festival dedicated to providing opportunities to women of color in the film industry.
