My friend Del Palmer sent a flyer to me with details about an African-American oral history program that I initiated with the Carroll County Human Relations Commission several years back. The project was awarded a large grant and is now set up to record family histories. This is wonderful, because Carroll County history has–up to this point–been written by whites. It’s high time to preserve the voices of African Americans. The Carroll County NAACP, the Media Center of Carroll County, and the Carroll County Public Library have all gotten behind the project, the final goal of which is a library of video and audio histories and the creation of films based on the information received.
