BLACK FAMILIES OF YALOBUSHA COUNTY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Students in my oral history seminar (SST 560) at the University of Mississippi and I collaborated with Ms. Dottie Reed (UM alum and Water Valley native) to start the Black Families of Yalobusha County Oral History Project in the fall of 2019. Interviews and other materials are now available in the eGrove.
Check out the nearly fifty interviews I conducted for oral history projects at the SOHP.
Invisible Histories Project-Mississippi and the Queer MS Oral History Project
The Invisible Histories Project-Mississippi collects and preserves LGBTQ history in Mississippi. We are currently based at the University of Mississippi and have a repository at Archives and Special Collections in the University’s J D Williams Library.
IHP-Mississippi is a satellite of the Invisible Histories Project (IHP), founded in 2016 by Joshua Burford and Maigen Sullivan based in Birmingham, Alabama. Learn more at invisiblehistories.org.
With co-director Amy McDowell and graduate students Hooper Schultz, Maddie Shappley, and Danielle Buckingham, along with students from the oral history seminar SST 560, we have been collecting oral history interviews with LGBTQ+ Mississippians. The interview collection, still growing, is now available in the eGrove.
