Public History Students Partner with Oakland Cemetery

As part of a $15,000 Partnership-in-Scholarship grant by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to the Historic Oakland Foundation, Kennesaw State University Public History students collaborated with Oakland Cemetery to develop an audio tour of the African American section of the cemetery. Tours are be accessed by cell phone and include information about prominent African Americans buried in the cemetery. The African American Voices Project was headed by Dr. Catherine Lewis and Dr. Jennifer Dickey, professors in the Public History Program at Kennesaw State University, as well as Dr. D. L. Henderson, Oakland Advisory Board member. WXIA, Channel 11, covered the project on their 11Alive News Today morning show, Thursday, September 30.
