The Black Panther Oakland Community School Research Cluster involves undergraduate and graduate students with faculty, staff, and community scholars to support the creation of public humanities projects. These include:
1. An interactive “yearbook” website, featuring digital content (photos, video segments, audio clips) of former students, teachers, and parents. This digital archive features past and present narratives and images of the people involved in the OCS. It will serve as a database for future researchers and a companion resource for the video series;
2. An OCS traveling exhibit featuring never-before-seen images from the rare BPP collection kept in custodial care of a former BPP photographer for more than 40 years;
3. A documentary film/video series about the OCS.
