Abstract
Using both first-person interviews and historical research into organizations ranging from the NAACP to the FBI and CIA, Charlton McIlwain charts the development and intersection of Black culture and the technoscientific technosystem of computing through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He charts the ways in which Black people and movements, despite their marginalization in the history of computing, have utilized computers and technology for their own liberation.
