Oral History and Environmental Justice

SF to LA on I-5

LA to SF on I-5

Tonight in BHS’s oral history seminar we discussed the many uses of oral histories beyond the archive: radio, museums, performance…  One inspiring example is Invisible-5, a self-guided audio tour along Interstate 5 from Los Angeles to San Francisco.  Check out the Superfund sites along the route.

Speaking of Superfund sites, the Newtown Creek Health & Harm Narratives Project is collecting community stories of illness and environmental pollution in Greenpoint, East Williamsburg, and Maspeth.  If you would like to be interviewed, even anonymously, you can contact them newtowncreekstudy [at] gmail.com or 718.577.1359.
