In this thought-provoking audio podcast, we delve into the concept of historical erasure and how it affects our social reality. From the remnants of Seneca Village, a thriving African American community torn apart by the construction of Central Park, to the modern-day algorithms that shape our online experiences, we explore the ways in which certain narratives and individuals are deliberately omitted or deleted from our collective consciousness. By examining the intersection of power, knowledge, and technology, we uncover the hidden knowledge that lies beneath the surface of our everyday lives, revealing the intricate web of social forces that determine what is remembered and what is forgotten. Join us on a journey to uncover the truth about who gets deleted and why, and discover how this understanding can help us build a more inclusive and equitable society.

Why do people disappear from communities, workplaces, relationships, and even history itself? In this episode of Chapter by Chapter, we explore “Communal Social Erasure,” a framework by ⁠⁠Elvin D. Almonte, Jr⁠⁠., the acting Maître d'Œuvre de la ⁠⁠Maison FORMS⁠⁠, examining how individuals and entire groups become quietly rewritten, excluded, archived, or forgotten. From Seneca Village and the Tulsa Race Massacre to modern algorithms, AI deepfakes, online group dynamics, and workplace reputation systems, this episode explores how manufactured consensus shapes social reality. Chapter by Chapter — The Lost Library transforms forgotten books and hidden knowledge into immersive audio documentaries from the depths of the archive.
