- Harriet Tubman's navigation of the Underground Railroad
- Black Panther Party's community survival programs
- Mutual aid networks during the Civil Rights Movement
- Built with and for the community
- Accessibility is not optional
- Privacy by design
- Performance on all devices
- Resilient architecture
