ORAL HISTORY.

I made extensive use of oral histories collected by the Memphis Multi-Media Archival Project housed at the Ned R. McWherter Library at the University of Memphis. This extraordinary research endeavor, undertaken in the late 1960s by the Memphis Search for Meaning Committee under the direction of Carol and David Yellin, includes audiotape, videotape, and oral histories collected from hundreds of eyewitnesses to the 1968 events in Memphis--including the sanitation strike, King's appearances, and the a.s.sa.s.sination and its aftermath.

My collaboration with the Insignia Films doc.u.mentary Roads to Memphis Roads to Memphis (produced for the PBS series (produced for the PBS series The American Experience) The American Experience) also yielded a substantial body of oral history. Subjects interviewed for the series include Andrew Young, Benjamin Hooks, Harris Wofford, Arthur Hanes Jr., Ramsey Clark, Louis Stokes, Samuel "Billy" Kyles, Dorothy Cotton, Roger Wilkins, John Campbell, Vince Hughes, Joseph Sweat, Dan Rather, and Gerald Posner. also yielded a substantial body of oral history.
