Oral History Institute (OHI)

OHI, in cooperation with The David C. Driskell Center for the African Diaspora, the Consortium for Race, Gender and Ethnicity, and historians from around the region, the nation, and the world, serves as a research, professional development, curriculum transformation, and advisory unit that prepares school reformers, education policy makers, archivists, museum educators, teachers, scholars, and community groups to learn the techniques of oral history, and, through this means, generate and record the perspectives of less privileged and traditionally invisible individuals and groups.
