In 2024, during the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Freedom School Online created a radical Black space, archive, and podcast. It aimed to showcase the work of influential West Coast-based Black cultural practitioners who are leading contemporary renaissances in their respective fields.
