Reparative Oral History Project: The Black Experience at the University of Maryland
This is a collection of ongoing oral histories documenting the existence and experience of Black students, faculty, and staff at the University of Maryland (UMD), as well as community members from the surrounding areas, through the voices and words of the narrators themselves. The Black Experience Oral History Project is part of the larger Reparative Histories initiative, which seeks to address the relative absence of the histories of traditionally marginalized communities within UMD’s University Archives collections. Recordings for the Black Experience Oral History Project begin in 2021. Individual interview materials include audio recordings and transcripts.
