In episode 128 of White Canes Connect, hosts Lisa Bryant and David Goldstein welcome longtime National Federation of the Blind (NFB) leaders Gary Wunder and Chris Danielsen for a rich conversation about legacy, transition, and storytelling. Gary, former editor of the Braille Monitor, shares his journey from joining the NFB at 16 to his new role as Blind Narrative Curator, leading the Oral History Project to preserve the voices and experiences of influential blind members. Chris, now the Monitor editor, discusses taking the reins from Gary, the magazine's evolution, and the importance of member contributions. The episode explores how national communications can support local efforts, including promoting events and offering media outreach. Gary and Chris stress the urgency of capturing stories before they're lost and encourage affiliates to suggest interview subjects and submit articles or ideas. From digitizing historic documents to expanding the Monitor's reach—including a Spanish edition—they highlight exciting developments and invite broad participation. Listeners are urged to share their stories, tips, and feedback with the national team and to recognize those making an impact in the movement today. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that history lives in voices—and now is the time to listen, record, and share.

In this special Remembrance Day episode of A Medic's Mind, I share two deeply personal stories that reflect on the bonds of brotherhood, the pain of loss, and the enduring power of memory. These stories honor the lives of Cpl. Andrew Eykelenboom, Cpl. Michael Starker, and Pte. Colin Wilmot—brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice. I also take you behind the scenes of my contribution to the Canadian National War Museum's Oral History Project, where I had the honor of sharing my experiences. Now featured at the museum, this project ensures that the voices and stories of those who served will be preserved for future generations. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to those we've lost and a reminder of the legacy they leave behind. Join me as I honor their memory through words, reflection, and the enduring promise to never forget.

Erika Holst, Curator of History, and Amanda Bryden, Registrar of History and State Historic Sites at the Illinois State Museum, spoke to Community Voices about their current Route 66 Oral History Project. Commemorating the centennial of the road, they discussed the process of collecting 100 oral histories from those who experienced Route 66 in its prime.

Host Pam Bordelon sits down with Callie Smith and Sarah Nansubuga on the project they're conducting in conjunction with the LSU Museum of Art's Clementine Hunter exhibition. They have been conducting oral history interview with members of Hunter's family, the results of which will eventually become part of LSU's T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History's digital library.

In this episode, host Dan Hummel, sits down with Vincent Bacote, Professor of Theology and Director of Wheaton College's Center for Applied Christian Ethics in Wheaton, Illinois. Bacote is the lead for The Black Evangelical Oral History Project, a documentary film that aims to tell the story of black evangelicalism in the United States. The project originated from an event at Fuller Seminary in 2008, where the idea of capturing the history of black evangelicalism through oral interviews was conceived. The documentary features interviews with various black evangelical leaders, highlighting their experiences and perspectives within the evangelical movement. The film explores themes such as the in-between space of black evangelicalism, the challenges of racial reconciliation, and the global nature of evangelicalism. A key goal of the project is to invite more stories, fostering a sense of community and encouraging audience participation. The project aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of black evangelicalism and its significance within the larger evangelical movement.----

The Ypsi Farmers & Gardeners Oral History Project (YFGOHP) is a new YDL digital archive sharing the stories of Ypsilanti's Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and/or working class food growers. Based on community input, the project started by collecting oral histories from elders and including portrait photographs of each farmer or gardener. The initial interviews were completed in October and November 2023 with more planned to start with farmers and gardeners of all ages in 2024. In this episode, we have the opportunity to have a discussion with three of the coordinators of this local oral history project to learn more about it:  Dr. Finn Bell, Omer Jean Winborn, and Briana Hurt. YDL librarian Madelynne Rivenbark, our engineeress, also contributes. During this episode we will also feature clips of the oral histories themselves, as well as follow up questions. The full oral histories from this project, as well as other oral histories and historical materials are located at history.ypsilibrary.org  For more information about this and other episodes of Ypsi Stories, including photos and bibliographies, check out ⁠⁠ypsilibrary.org/ypsistories If you don't want to miss any future episodes, you can always subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, AntennaPod, gPodder, or wherever you find your podcasts!⁠ To keep up to date on this podcast, as well as all the great things the Ypsilanti District Library is doing, you can follow the library on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, and of course, you can always check out our webpage at ⁠⁠ypsilibrary.org

Thames Mudlark Florrie Evans calls herself a committed lifetime mudlark. She grew up in south west London near the River Thames, and at low tide this was her playground. The first thing she remembers collecting as a child were bits of blue and white pottery. Over the last 15 years, she has become a committed mudlark, and since 2014 she's been taking her young daughter with her. Florrie is a member of the Society of Mudlarks and is licensed by the Port of London Authority to dig to 2 metres in the river bed. In this interview she explains why she goes mudlarking and the pleasure she gets out of it. Over time she's learnt to read the tides and where to look. She talks about the different styles of mudlarks - some striding out along the foreshore, some spending up to 2 hours in one small patch. She's made many finds over the years, which she washes and presents as beautifully as possible. Among her collection are many buttons, including pearly buttons and shards of shells they were carved from. She talks about the Pearly button industry, a cottage industry mainly undertaken by women along the Thames who would purchase cheap buckets of shells from incoming ships. The shells were taken to their homes and carved into mother-of-pearl buttons.

Today's show comes to us from Re:Work, a woman-led radio show and podcast from the UCLA Labor Center, spotlighting the voices of workers, immigrants, and people of color. “Changing Lives, Changing L.A.” is a play created from transcripts from the UNITE HERE Local 11 Oral History Project and originally performed before a live audience at Loyola Marymount University and UCLA. Portrayed by professional actors, four members of Local 11 share their stories of becoming leaders in their union, and fighting for a better life while helping transform Los Angeles. These are important voices to hear, especially this year. On this week's Labor History in Two: The year was 1972. That was the day the Equal Rights Amendment passed the Senate and moved to the states for ratification.

Carol Alevroyianni and Richard Broderick are the key people behind the Whitley Bay Carnival which was revived in 2013. It's thought the carnival first ran a hundred years ago but petered out over the years, was revived in the 1980s but again disappeared. It's now flourishing again, and many local groups and schools get involved, with around a thousand people taking part in the parade, and more than 10,000 watching it. Carol and Richard explain that the carnival is artist-led, and all the costumes are informed by artists. The 10th anniversary parade was led by a giant animated puppet called Billy, which was made by Richard.

Mellany Robinson and Amy de la Haye are two of the trio responsible for the Making Mischief exhibition. Along with designer Simon Costin, they came up with the idea of bringing folk costumes together from all over the UK, first at Compton Verney in Warwickshire and then at the London College of Fashion's new building in Stratford for a second London-orientated show. In this interview they discuss their backgrounds and how they met and collaborated. Both have a particular interest in costumes worn by ordinary people for special events, particularly important days in the seasonal calendar. They also champion and value worn, mended and perished clothes.

Kinsi Abdullah is an artist interested in championing and preserving the textiles, fashions, art and crafts of the Somali community in Britain. Three decades ago she set up Numbi Arts in Stratford and works collaboratively with other organisations to 'take over' venues and put on Somali events. She hopes one day to create a Somali museum and has a clear vision of what this would look like. Mellany Robinson is the project manager of the Museum of British Folklore. This also has no physical base, and in this interview, Mellany and Kinsi swap experiences of setting up a museum.

Simon Pipe is the creator of the Banbury Hobby Horse. In 2000 councillors in the town of Banbury in Oxfordshire wanted to capitalise on the famous nursery rhyme 'Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross'. Simon, who was a Morris dancer and had attended one-day events like Jack in the Green in Hastings, suggested a hobby horse festival for Banbury. The councillors agreed to it and the event started to take place annually. People created their own hobby horses and brought them to Banbury to parade through the streets. Simon's hobby horse is a white creature with ping pong eyes, four legs and a blue horse rug covering the wearer.

Michael Fowell has been dancing in the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance since he was 7 years old. He's now 29 and proud to be involved in a tradition which goes back hundreds of years. In fact, the reindeer horns worn by the performers (which hang on the wall of St Nicholas' church in Abbots Bromley for the rest of the year) are more than 1000 years old. The dancers consist of six deer men, a Fool, hobby horse, bowman and Maid Marian. They perform all around the neighbourhood covering about 10 miles during the day. Michael's family has been involved for generations. He carries the No 4 horn which is the lightest one.

Moira Budge first got involved in the Orkney Festival of the Horse in the late 1970s when her son was about 7. The event is held annually on the island of South Ronaldsay. Traditionally boys would take part in a ploughing match, copying their fathers and grandfathers and using miniature ploughs made from horn or bone. In the mid 1950s, girls started joining in, dressed as plough horses. The costumes were basic at first but have become more and more elaborate. Moira describes an outfit she made for her daughter Amy out of an old school blazer decorated with buttons, ribbons, pom poms and lace. The 'horses' also wear decorated yokes round their necks.

Malik was born in the Gambia but moved to the UK as a child. He set up Yaram Arts to showcase African music, culture and dance. Moulaye is a 'zimbalia' artist (a medieval art form) and performs with Yaram regularly. He is Senegalese and moved to the UK in 2010 where he met Malik. They promote African Carnival (pre-dating Caribbean carnival but there are many links between the two practices). Moulaye performs the Zimba Lion Masquerade which originates in Senegal. He wears a lion costume, made of hairy material with a headdress and neck piece made of cowrie shells.

Bob Crouch won the Doggett's Coat and Badge Race in 1958, the year he completed his apprenticeship as a waterman on the River Thames. It's the oldest rowing race in the world and has been continuously run for more than 200 years. Bob competed against 4 other apprentices and won against the odds. The prize is the right to wear the red coat and badge. Bob explains how he felt when  he won the race, what the coat is like to wear and the pride he feels in upholding the Doggett's tradition. He has written a book on the subject called 'The Coat of Mr Doggett'.

Jerry has been a swan upper since 1996. He's a sixth generation Thames Waterman, and has also taken part in the Dogget's Coat and Badge race. He talks about his involvement in the Dyers Company which is one of three livery companies which undertakes the monitoring of the King's swans on the River Thames each year. The Dyers dress in blue, Breton-style striped tops, white trousers, and navy jackets. Jerry feels very strongly that the tradition of Swan Upping needs to be more widely known about.

Doreen was born within the sound of Bow Bells which makes her a true Cockney. She became a Pearly Queen in the mid 1990s, firstly as a Pearly Pride (an apprentice) and eventually earning her title. Unusually Doreen has two titles, one in her own right (Pearly Queen of Bow Bells), and one with her late husband (Pearly King and Queen of Old Kent Road). The main business of Pearlies, according to Doreen, is collecting funds for charities. An average day involves putting on your outfit and standing outside supermarkets rattling a bucket. Doreen's outfit has motifs of flowers, bells and horseshoes and her jacket is covered in badges given to her by different charities.

In partnership with the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE), Re:Work presents “Changing Lives, Changing L.A.,” a play created from transcripts from the UNITE HERE Local 11 Oral History Project and originally performed before a live audience at Loyola Marymount University and UCLA. Portrayed by professional actors, four members of UNITE HERE Local 11 share their stories of becoming leaders in their union, and fighting for a better life while helping transform Los Angeles. Special thanks to Emma Worthington, Regla Soto, Soledad Garcia, and Ignacio Ruiz for sharing their stories. “Changing Lives, Changing L.A.” was conceived by veteran organizer Vivian Rothstein and crafted by playwrights Doris Baizley and Rose Portillo. It was directed by Rose Portillo and Doris Baizley, and produced by Vivian Rothstein. The oral histories of the women and men of UNITE HERE Local 11 were voiced by actors Joyce Guy, Marco Rodriguez, Rose Portillo, and Sarita Ocón.

Tim Watkin got involved in folk traditions through music and Mummers' plays. He joined Stratford Morris and took on the Tourney Horse after finding it in a rather tatty state. He revamped the horse (using an old archive photo of it from 1910) and performs in it alongside the Stratford Morris team. The role of the horse is to clear the way for the dancers or interact with the crowd and collect money. The horse hangs from the wearer's shoulders and has a wooden head, basket neck and a skirt covering the wearer's legs. It's supposed to resemble a medieval tournament horse.

Sue and John Exton are both artists. They started making Mari Lwyds after retiring from teaching jobs. A Mari Lwyd is horse costume made from a horse's skull mounted on a pole. The skull is attached to a cloak which hides the 'rider' (the person holding and operating the skull) and the Mari Lwyd is led by an 'ostler' who, during processions and performances, guides the horse through a community knocking at people's doors and demanding entry to their houses. The tradition, which is predominant in South Wales, dates back to 1800, although there's evidence of people going around as hooded animals as early as the 4th century. John and Sue are passionate about their hobby and spend many hours creating their Mari lwyds which all have names.

John Land has been involved with the Minehead Sailor's Horse all his life. His earliest memories of the hobby horse coming up the street are from before he could walk. He first took part in the procession as a teenager and is now involved in keeping the tradition going and organising the annual event in Minehead, on the Somerset coast. His wife Jackie and Paul Wilson are both folk musicians who also take part. The 'horse' comes out on ‘Warning Night' (April 30th). It dances, chases the crowd and gets up to mischief in Minehead on May 1st to 3rd. The Minehead Sailor's Horse consists of a circular frame (possibly originally an upturned coracle) which is decorated with multicoloured rags.

Tereza Mazak was born and grew up in Slovakia. She has always been interested in folk traditions and costumes, and her grandmother and great grandmother were both dressmakers. Tereza studied costume design at college and specialised in historical and theatre outfits. After moving to Edinburgh, she attended the Edinburgh Fire Festival, an annual event celebrating the return of summer, and then joined the Beltane Fire Society which organises it. Tereza was asked to design costumes for the May Monarch and the Green Man. Her costumes were inspired by nature and Celtic motifs. They were made as sustainably as possible, using upcycled materials and things from charity shops.

Chris Barber has been involved in folk music and folk clubs as long as he can remember, and joined Forest of Dean Morris in the 1980s after getting married and moving to Gloucestershire. Shortly after joining the team, he was asked if he would like to be the Old Fool. The Fool is 'the Lord of Misrule' - his role is to attract an audience, keep them entertained between the dances and add an element of danger to the dances by interacting with the dancers. Forest of Dean Morris wear rag coats. These are homemade garments made by stitching multi coloured rags on to old jackets or waistcoats. Chris and his wife made his Fool's costume from an old tailcoat. They created his top hat out of a cornflake packet.

Whitelands College (now part of University of Roehampton) has an archive of May Monarch robes that date back to the 1870s. The first ceremonies were sponsored by John Ruskin, the writer and polymath, who commissioned the children's book illustrator Kate Greenaway to design the first robe. Each year Whitelands elects a May Queen (or since 1986 King) who wears a specially designed robe. The monarch leads a May Day ceremony and is invested by a bishop. These days there's a procession led by Morris dancers and a service, and previous May Monarchs are invited back and wear their costumes. Gilly and Gemma are the College archivists and have both been involved in organising the ceremony.

CN2Go Host Kiersten Edgett: For nearly a hundred years, starting in 1869, Native American children were removed from their homes and sent to boarding schools. Now, an oral history project by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has been launched to raise awareness about a program that affected tens of thousands of Native Americans. Reporter Kenny Rasmussen has more on the story. RASMUSSEN: The upcoming NABS exhibit focuses on educating the public about the plight of Native Americans in the boarding schools designed to “kill the Indian” in them. The project's launch is part of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative introduced by Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland. Haaland uses her platform to raise awareness of the Native American boarding schools and their impact, having appeared on programs such as PBS NewsHour and the History Channel. She often uses her grandparents as an example of people who were forcibly assimilated. Around 0:15 “When my maternal grandparents were only eight years old they were stolen from their parents' culture and communities, and forced to live in boarding schools until the age of 13. Many children like them never made it back to their homes.” RASMUSSEN: Haaland believes the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative will raise awareness and have a transformational impact on future generations. NABS Oral History Project Senior Director Melissa Powless notes that the organization was selected to head the program due to its track record of interviewing survivors of boarding schools in order to create and preserve historical records. Around 1:45 “The amazing thing is that NABS is an organization that does this work already and approaches the interviewing and a healing centered approach to really care for our relatives and the survivors of Indian boarding schools.” Powless says that oral history has had an importance in indigenous communities as it is a way storytellers and listeners can connect. Studies have shown the importance of sharing experiences and stories, especially in familial settings. RASMUSSEN: Powless says the impact of boarding schools was an intergenerational trauma that can be linked to a lot of the modern-day social, health, and economic disparities native people deal with. Boarding school intergenerational trauma can manifest in various ways. Elena Selestewa, a historian who gathers knowledge regarding the Phoenix Indian School and its students, noted that her grandmother was affected by such trauma. During her childhood, her grandmother washed out her mouth with a bar of soap when she said a bad word. She later discovered this was a way her grandmother was disciplined at the boarding school when she had difficulty speaking words in English. The process of interviewing survivors is complicated for a variety of reasons linked to the trauma and in some cases the age of the survivors. Powless notes that a lot of survivors want to share their experiences but have found themselves unable to for various reasons. Around 10:55 “One of the main ones that I often think about is that a lot of our survivors do share that they don't want their families to hear about what happened to them because they don't want to re-traumatize or hurt them.” RASMUSSEN: There is also mental health assistance and medicine available to aid in the healing-based approach NABS intends to have with their interviews. Powless says the staff is always prepared to have the support close by so it can be there if needed. Powless mentions that while the final blueprint of the project is yet to be determined, the recorded interviews will be a milestone that will ensure the oral history project's success.
