Stored In Dusty Boxes

The Federal Writers Project was stopped overnight by the Congress and the work of the writers was placed in boxes in the state archives and left there. Dr. Cecelia Bucki, one of the scholars on Thursday's "Soul of a People" Scholar Panel, went through these boxes for information for her book on immigrant life in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She spoke about the high quality of the oral histories done by the Federal Writers' Project.
You can learn more about the Federal Writers' Project and oral histories on Thursday, October 22 from 11am to 12:20pm in Room 808. Assistant Professor, Dale Griffith and her students will be doing presentations and offering light refreshments.
