Voices of Alabama is an oral history project conducted in partnership with World Monuments Fund, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the Alabama African-American Civil Rights Heritage Sites Consortium (AAACRHSC). The project documents the 20 sites in the consortium that played significant roles in the African-American struggle for freedom—not just during the Civil Rights Movement, but beginning in Reconstruction. I co-led the production of the 20 oral history videos as well as the design and production of a standalone website (now offline) that included additional material such as a timeline of events and important archival photos. The project launched with a live panel discussion including Congresswoman Terri Sewell at The Times Center in New York City.
The complete collection can be found here.
