D.C. Oral Histories

During the summer of 2017, the Black Power Chronicles Oral History Committee, working in collaboration with other Black Power Chronicles committees, videotaped interviews of 29 significant Washington, D.C. activists, artists, political leaders from the Barry administration, and scholars who helped develop the significant institutions that defined the Black Power era in Washington, D.C. The oral history interviews were conducted at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) cable television station thanks to the collaboration arranged by Ed Jones, UDC-TV director, and Cheryl Hawkins, associate director of UDC-TV.
