The project was not an easy feat, but they made it their own and far exceeded expectations! Social history emphasizes the interaction of different groups in society. This concept began in the 1960s and initially focused on disenfranchised social groups, but later began to focus more attention on the middle and upper classes. The US History students of 2019/20 have not only gained a deep understanding of a portion of history through their interviews, but they have also provided a public service via the publication of their interviews. For example, this project will serve as a primary source database for use by future students, community members, and even researchers around the world!

As controversial as it might seem, this episode asks our colleagues to consider pushing their students just a little bit harder than they may have before, and to even consider this advice for themselves!
