Exhibitions
The “Unyielding Voices: Global Resistance and the Black Radical Tradition” exhibition, located in the UCSB Library’s Special Collections, documents the life’s work of Cedric J. Robinson and Elizabeth Peters Robinson, placing it in the global context of the Black radical tradition. The exhibition is drawn from the Cedric J. and Elizabeth P. Robinson Archive and supplemented by a variety of materials from other collections in UCSB Library’s Special Research Collections, as well as personal contributions from Elizabeth Robinson.
Previous Conferences
The Robinson Archives have supported the creation of two major academic conferences, “Archives Unbound: 50 Years of Hope, Resistance, and Rebellion” in 2024. The conference brought together scholars and activists alike to activate the archive's contents and share in the Robinsons’ vision of the Black radical tradition.
The upcoming “Archiving and Activating Histories of Internationalism,” scheduled for October 2026, will share in that mission to celebrate and expand the Robinsons’ work, as well as to activate the contents of the archive at this critical juncture in the historical moment. More information to come!
