AAHI March 4 2026

The City of Winston-Salem's March 4, 2026 meeting focused extensively on the ongoing oral history project centered around the Anderson High School alumni and the broader African American community. The commission discussed the development of an oral history class at Winston Salem State University, the involvement of interns in conducting interviews, and the digitization of historical materials to preserve local heritage. Emphasis was placed on capturing diverse lived experiences, including church histories, debutante balls, and community life, with plans to collaborate with local organizations such as Goodwill's mobile unit to engage seniors in sharing their stories. The meeting highlighted the importance of community partnerships, archival efforts, and educational initiatives to sustain and expand the oral history project.
