Listen to 10 African American elders living in the Berkshires talk about their lives, their work, and their ideas. Here is a link to their interviews, which are housed with the Digital Commonwealth. This was the first collaboration of the Oral History Center, with the NAACP-Berkshire Branch, and now it is a part of a new collaboration with the Digital Commonwealth.
The Berkshire Museum mounted a beautiful exhibit with portraits, taken by Julie McCarthy, and the audio from the interviews. We provided the materials, including the information and some photos for a walk-through time line of African American heritage.
