Over the past two years, doctors Jamie Wagman and Julia Dauer from Saint Mary’s College collected local stories of those impacted by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year, they gave a public presentation with clips from some of the narrators who graciously shared their stories. They did it again this past September at the Saint Joseph County Public Library with new narrators sharing a different set of stories.
We shared the first presentation as a special on this feed last year, and we’re doing so again now.
The full versions of these oral histories are preserved and accessible through the Civil Rights Heritage Center’s archives, and today we share the most recent public presentation.
This episode was produced by Jamie Wagman and Julia Dauer from Saint Mary’s College, and Nathalie Villalobos and George Garner from the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center.
