In class this past week, we were
assigned readings of the accounts of multiple individuals who were
alive during the slavery period. These interviews gave a real
perspective of what the times were like. I believe it is important to
hear stories from those that aren’t recognized as icons in history.
I say that because those stories are glorified. They are the extreme
and are the outliers. I am interested in expanding this idea of
stories told by the “unglorified.” I would like to expand this
idea to the recollection of the civil rights. We read in the history
books about the Martin Luther King’s and the Rosa Parks and the
Malcolm X’s. I know for a fact that there are influential people
that aren’t recognized but were there and those stories should get
out. I am interested in doing a documentary series that interviews
those unheard voices. What do you all think? Below is a link to
stories I have found on the movement that shed a different light.
