    GMA3 airs at 1pm ET, 12pm PT & CT. The show can also be seen on Hulu at 4pm & 8pm ET. It will be the third segment of the show, usually about 20 minutes in.

    Also, we want to involve as many Black Librarians as possible in the surrounding projects; we are doing web episodes, podcasts, and a mapping project that all tie into the documentary. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to be involved. I've added a link to our promo video as well.
