Every experience is an argument. Here are the arguments, with receipts — the sources, the stack, the manifesto rules invoked. Use them.

Marcus Garvey's voice was the most broadly circulated Black voice of his era, and the most systematically suppressed. The Garvey Living Archive is a conversational interface to his public-domain writings — you ask the archive, it answers in his own words, every quote sourced and traceable. This is the first SAM (Small Archive Model) in the Radical Imagination Constellation.
The Juneteenth 2026 tease is the SS Yarmouth parallax + FBI redaction reveal — Garvey's own words are preserved; what was redacted is visible as redaction, not erased as absence.
"What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" was delivered by Frederick Douglass on July 5, 1852 — 174 years before the United States turned 250. The experience launches July 4, 2026, centering Douglass's speech at the exact moment the country is celebrating itself.
The VR build (parallax diorama, 7 cue-driven scenes, voiceover via ElevenLabs, 44 public-domain archival images placed across 81 image planes, custom GLSL fire-and-dissolve shaders) ships on launch day.
W.E.B. Du Bois wrote more than any other Black American intellectual of the 20th century. Ida B. Wells investigated more killings than any journalist of her era. Both archives are conversational — ask, and they answer in the author's own words, with every quote sourced back to a primary text. When sources conflict, the tension is surfaced, not resolved.
Du Bois's 1900 data portraits were pedagogy before they were art. The lessons recover that framing. Four web-native interactive modules that a teacher can share with a single URL — no login, no download, no LMS. A learner clicks through from "what is a data portrait" to "make your own." Paris Wrapped is the Spotify-Wrapped-style scrollytelling on the 1900 Exposition — 51M visitors, 40 countries, the American Negro Exhibit, Du Bois's plates at the center.
Companion Jupyter notebooks let educators bring the data into their own analysis environment: population · education · occupation · income · 1900 → 2025 progress.
Memorial Cave is the ancestral room. Starfield, Du Bois portrait floating, the founding quote. Shirley's Alcove is three framed moments from Shirley Graham Du Bois's life — the collaborator who has been written out of most histories of W.E.B. Du Bois. Step inside. Don't watch.
fire.glsl, dissolve.glsl, glass.glslThe Cave Gallery is the navigable superset. Memorial Cave, Shirley's Alcove, and — in May — Paris 1900 Hall. Three rooms, one architecture, one pattern repeating at different scales. A visitor moves between them without a loader, without a menu. The gallery is a room of rooms.
