Black History Month events
On February 2, two dozen students, teachers, and social activists
from the Galilee participated in PD Tel Aviv's DVC program on "African-American
Oral History," inaugurating ACK's Black History Month events. The
participants listened attentively to Dr. Dianne Swann-Wright's presentation
on the "Getting Word: The Oral History Project." Dr. Swann-Wright,
who worked as a historian for the Monticello Oral History Project,
described the processes of oral history documentation in a highly
accessible manner, using her experience from the research of the
African-American inhabitants of Monticello. Dr. Swann-Wright read
excerpts from her book, A Way Out of No Way: Claiming Family and
Freedom In the New South, and provided the DVC participants with
an insider's perspective of the mundane life in Monticello, based
on oral history interviews with the descendents of the formerly
enslaved.
