Memorial for Professor Jason Arday: The Black Academics Archive

Some stories should not disappear simply because the news cycle moved on.

The Black Academics Archive began with Professor Jason Arday, but it was never meant to end with him.

It is becoming a public record of what happens in academic life — the loss, the harm, the resistance, the survival, and the people whose experiences too easily become footnotes once institutions move forward.

This is one of those pieces I believe is worth returning to.

The stories are everywhere. The record is not.

If this archive brought you here, there is more to follow. These pieces continue the conversation about who gets remembered, who gets protected, and what Black academic survival can cost.
