When an elder dies, a library burns.

For African Americans, history has always been fragile—passed down through oral tradition and fragmented by slavery.

Will You Remember Me? is a personal documentary that follows my family as we race against time to preserve what remains, exploring the power of memory and the devastating consequences of its loss.
