NH BLACK HISTORY
Beginning in 1990 historian Valerie Cunningham interviewed over a dozen elderly
members of the African American community in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Selections
from five of those interviews are included here, All five of those interviewed
have since died, but their memories of growing up black live on.
Seacoast Black History
ORAL HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS
This project was inspired by a fear of losing another generation's accounts of
life in the region as experienced by African-Americans. The intention was not
to write definitive autobiographies but simply to capture some of the memories
and images of people who had lived in the region since before WWII. What emerged
was a collection of stories reflecting their very different personal experiences
and points of view. Interviews were completed between September 1990 and December
1991. Five of the fourteen interviews are represented here. The photographs are
all by Kelvin Edwards. -- Valerie Cunningham, African American Resource Center (PO Box 5094, Portsmouth,
NH 03801)
