Gathering Immigrant Oral Histories
23 09 2009Today Ms. Younge told us all about her grandfather, Dr. Fitzroy Egerton Younge, who immigrated to America from Guyana in the 1920’s. He passed away when she was young and so she never got the chance to hear his immigration story. Luckily he wrote it all down as his autobiographical notes and now it is preserved for all time. Each year in Younge House, his story is passed down. That is what makes our upcoming Oral History project so special. We will be recording real people’s stories to preserve and add them to the history of our country. To get a better sense of the actual process, check out this video Mr. Andre made (it’s about 4 minutes long). This week’s assignment is choose someone to interview and schedule a time to talk to them. All interviews should be completed no later than October 13th.
