I started this on-going project in 2021 while working on my dissertation research. The CWRU Social Justice Institute granted me a fellowship specifically to support my dissertation research and to make my findings publicly available through eight podcast episodes. Over the course of the 2021-2022 academic year, I conducted oral history interviews over Zoom and curated the recordings into story-based podcast episodes.
