A Beginner's Guide to Family [Oral] History

I'm doing Black oral history work now, y'all. I got into a program that is training oral historians to collect community stories and it's super exciting.

I want to share some of this exciting journey with you. So, I talked with my instructor Alissa Rae Funderburk (an oral historian at the Margaret Walker Center of Jackson State University) about how to get started collecting family oral history.

She definitely makes me feel more equipped to do the work. And this won't be the last you hear about my oral history journey.
