Oral History (Intro)

Oral histories help us understand the way that the world was in generations prior to ours. Oral history refers to living people’s testimonies about their own experiences. In some cases, oral histories allow humans to remember the world hundreds of generations back — before written, photographed, or otherwise physically documented histories. Additionally, oral histories can come from anyone — you don’t have to be a historian to remember your own experiences. This means we can get more diverse and unique versions of the past.
In this assignment, students were asked to seek out an oral history that could tell them about the world before their lifetime. The following blogs contain the gifted stories received by our students. Enjoy!!!
