Scope and content:

Photographs and videotapes from El-Amin's activities, dating from the 1970s through the 2000s. Most of the series consists of loose photographs, which El-Amin has sorted by event; there are also 4 albums with similar contents. There are photographs of several events represented in the Organizations and Movements series, including the Black Radical Congress Southern Regional Conference; SPICE graduations; union rallies and protests; political and anti-war demonstrations; meetings of groups such as Jobs with Justice, SARN, NAACP, and Black Workers for Justice; and other activist events. These have been housed by event in separate photo packets, with any accompanying information recorded on the outside of each packet. El-Amin's family photographs are much less organized, with few captions or dates included. Includes photographs of her three weddings.

The 7 VHS tapes are largely promotional or informational media produced for BWFJ or for unions. Finally, there are 18 DVDs, which are largely related to Southern Anti-Racism Network events.
