Greenwood High School's EAST program hosted an event Monday evening honoring contributors to the joint EAST-SSCHS Oral History Project. Student videographer Erika Lindsay previewed clips from the videotaped interviews with nineteen Sebastian County residents. Participants were recognized for sharing their personal stories. Upon completion, completed DVDs will be housed at the Old Jail Museum, and made available for viewing by the public. It is hoped they can be made available for viewing on the internet. Each contributor will receive a copy for their personal use.
These personal histories of life in South Sebastian County over the past century are being collected to serve as a historical record for future generations. The SSCHS wishes to thank those who so willingly shared their stories.
Many thanks to EAST program teacher JoLynn Dixon, student videographer Erika Lindsay and students in the EAST program for their contributions to this important project.
