From grassroots collections to institutional repositories, from family photographs to community oral histories, these pages offer more than 150 definitions and concepts that speak to the power of preserving the Black experience with precision and care. As both scholar and storyteller, Dr. kYmberly Keeton, C.A., M.L.I.S., Ph.D. bridges the traditions of librarianship with the urgency of cultural memory work, inviting readers to treat every document, image, and record as a site of liberation. Whether you are an archivist, librarian, educator, researcher, or keeper of your own family’s legacy, Memory in Motion equips you with the vocabulary to defend the past, define the present, and imagine a future that refuses to forget.
