Diverse Suburbs Oral History Project Sharing stories that need to be heard
We’d like to partner with schools, civic, religious, ethnic and cultural groups to create a living archive of the “dawn of the suburban era” with an initial focus on the experience of African-Americans in the nation’s “first” suburb. Making history live and breathe
