Chicago 1968

Chicago 1968, an oral history project with religious activists who participated in the seminal Chicago events of 1968, was conducted to enhance and support the NCCJ Collection, one of the special collections holdings at the college.

This collaborative project with the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago recorded and preserved eyewitness histories of those involved in the historic events of the year 1968 in the city, and explores the role of religious leadership and activism during the era.

Undergraduate Columbia College Chicago students conducted these interviews during the Spring 2015 semester for the course, Oral History: The Art of the Interview taught by Dr. Erin McCarthy. More student interviews are found on the Oral History Interviews page.
