“Archivist Lisbet Tellefsen collects Black cultural artifacts like kids used to collect baseball cards back in the day.
Lucky for us, she shares her collection with the world. Dozens of pieces from her personal archive are housed at museums across the country, including the
@oaklandmuseumca and the
@nmaahc.
Five years ago, when I wrote about the history of the Black Panther school, Tellefsen sent me photos of Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou inside the school's former site in East Oakland.
And now Tellefsen has included over 100 pieces from her archive of the famed scholar and prison abolitionist Angela Davis in the 192-page book Seize the Time. With a mix of archival photos, contemporary art, essays and interviews, Seize the Time paints a picture of Davis' life—at a time when her work couldn't be more important.” — columnist and
