Oral History Interviewer, South End Oral History Project, Boston, MA

Posted June 21, 2022

Description:

The South End Oral History Project (sponsored by the South End Historical Society in conjunction with UMass Boston Archives and Special Collections) seeks to record the voices and capture the experiences of a wide range of people living and/or working in Boston’s South End (not to be confused with South Boston) during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s—a period of rapid social, cultural, political, and economic change in this historically diverse urban neighborhood. Typical areas of interest would be schools, desegregation, housing, gentrification, displacement, urban renewal, inequalities in income and social strata, etc.—all the forces and stresses affecting 20th-century urban life. One area of focus will be the students, parents, teachers, and supporters of the Bancroft School, an innovative public school created by South End parents, teachers, and activists in the mid-1960s.
