The UAO's Africans in Chicago Oral History Project has had a facelift. You can check out the new website at:
www.africansinchicago.org
The Africans in Chicago Oral History Project is collecting the stories of African immigrants and refugees about their journeys to Chicago. The project aims to document the challenges, successes and acculturation experiences of African immigrants and refugees.
The Africans in Chicago project uses an interactive website to engage the public about the history of our community. The website uses maps, timelines, photographs, virtual walking tours and other documents to situate Africans in the Chicago cityscape and contextualize individuals' stories within African and U.S. history.
The Africans in Chicago Oral History Project is founded in the idea that knowledge should inform actions. We hope that providing an open, creative space for people to listen and connect through storytelling will promote learning and civic engagement, and serve as a peaceful vehicle for change.
