and folklore. Only a few interviews pertain to the civil rights
era. The interviews were primarily done by students from the
Meridian Community College.
The cassettes of the interviews are missing. The new records
manager is attempting to locate the cassettes. All but one
of the interviews has been transcribed, most by Meridian Community
College students; the remaining interview has been summarized.

the interviews in this collection. The four interviews listed
