The Southern Oral History Program (SOHP) will culminate a 25th anniversary celebration on April 8 with a day of panel discussions.
Panelists will range from well-known oral historian Michael Frisch to Russ Rymer, author of the recently published nonfiction book, American Beach: A Saga of Race, Wealth and Memory.
They will discuss innovative uses of oral history, especially approaches that challenge the traditional historical narrative, exploring the relationship of history, memory and myth-making.
The panel discussions will take place in the Pleasants Room of Wilson Library from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
SOHP explores 20th century Southern history, interviewing men and women from all walks of life. Since being founded in 1973, the nationally recognized program has collected more than 2,000 interviews on subjects such as Southern politics and business, women's leadership and grassroots activism, and Southern race relations.
