- Title
Helping Students Uncover Their Inner Archivist.
- Authors
Filene, Benjamin
- Abstract
The new director of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro?s (UNCG) public history program showed his graduate students a photograph with forty-six smiling faces—the 1963 class of an African American school in High Point, North Carolina—and he posed a challenge: uncover the life stories of these children and share them in a museum exhibit. As professor and students pursued this exercise in public storytelling, they unexpectedly learned another lesson-about the power of primary sources and the archives that hold them.
