History is made from stories and the people who pass them from one
generation to the next. We present these stories gathered by seven
young women from Franklin Middle School in Champaign. They
conducted interviews with older local Black residents to find out what
it was like during the years before the Brown v. Board decision. They learned how to
conduct these interviews by listening closely and asking follow up
questions. They learned how to do research, and work the sound, taping
and editing equipment. They not only developed a deeper understanding of
Brown, but the significance of racism, segregation, the elusive quest
for an equitable and excellent education, and what all that means for
their lives. |
