Scope and Contents
The Waxter Center Oral Histories Collection contains 12 audio interviews and transcripts collected by Joshua Davis, University of Baltimore assistant professor, Division of Legal, Ethical and Historical Studies, and by the students of his “History 205 African American History since 1865” class. The students interviewed participants at the Waxter Center for Senior Citizens in Baltimore, MD on February 13 and 14, 2019. The project was part of the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read grant awarded to the University of Baltimore in support of programming and events focused on the book “Citizen: An American Lyric" by Claudia Rankine. The project allowed students and interviewees to discuss their individual life experiences, themes from the UB history course, and themes from Claudia Rankine’s book. Some significant topics discussed in these interviews include racism in America and microaggressions. This collection includes textual transcripts and digital audio interviews.
