TO THE EDITOR:
We are a collection of more than 5,000 voices — civil rights leaders, women’s movement activists, farmworkers and millhands — and you probably haven’t heard them.
The Southern Oral History Program was started in 1973 and is now housed in the historic Love House on East Franklin Street. Our interview materials can be found in the Southern Historical Collection in Wilson Library and at sohp.org.
Each semester, the SOHP hosts a team of interns who work collaboratively to complete an oral history project on a historical period or theme.
This semester’s interns are currently working on a project about sexuality at UNC in the 1970s, focusing on the founding of the Carolina Gay Association and the Human Sexuality Information and Counseling Services. Each intern conducts two oral history interviews, and is responsible for a certain “beat” in the SOHP office, including social media and communications, undergraduate engagement and general support. The interns meet in a weekly seminar, and can receive three hours of academic credit for their work.
Applications for next semester’s internship are due at 5 p.m. on Oct. 25. Please contact internship coordinator Evan Faulkenbury at sohpintern@gmail.com for application materials and with any questions.
