Interview with Veronica Henderson and Heather Adkins of Alabama's State Black Archive
Monday, 2 November, 2026
In today's episode, I got to sit down with Veronica Henderson (director) and Heather Adkins (curator and archivist) of the Alabama State Black Archives Research Center and Museum, which is located on the campus of Alabama A&M University. We talked about the origins and importance of the archives; the significance of building trust within the community to collect, preserve, and share their stories; "filling in the blanks" of state history where Black voices and contributions weren't properly represented; and how you can visit and research at the archive.You can find the State Black Archive's website here, including information about visiting, contacting, and donating.For more Huntsville, Alabama, history you can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, follow the show on Facebook and Instagram at @lilyflaggpodcast, and check out the cited transcripts on the website at lilyflaggpodcast.wordpress.com.
