Springfield College Civil Rights Oral History Collection
Collection Description
This collection contains the oral histories of Springfield College (SC) alumni, faculty, and administrators who were present on campus during or leading up to the SC Black student protests in 1969-1970, along with materials collected and created before and after these interviews. The oral histories highlight the time of civil unrest on the SC campus in 1969-1970 and contain first-hand accounts of the activism and of the various reactions on and off campus. Materials in this collection include audio recordings, video recordings done through Zoom, transcripts of the oral histories, interviewer questions, biographical sketches of the Black student activists, resumes, class directions & materials, and signed release forms. Materials date from the fall 2019 semester to the fall 2021 semester. The project to collect these oral histories are ongoing, so the collection will change and grow over time.
