PA Humanities was honored to premiere Voices of History Erie with @eriesblackwallstreet at @theerieartmuseum, sharing eight moving stories from local Erie residents about family, migration, community care, pride, perseverance, and transformation.
We were grateful to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning historian @eddafieldsblack, author of COMBEE, for a powerful conversation on preserving history through story.
Huge thanks to our partners @eriesblackwallstreet, Kyra Taylor, Dr. Rhonda Matthews, our community storytellers, filmmaker Morgan Moody, creative director Terrell Robinson, HICAAE, @eriehistory, and @theerieartmuseum.
Voices of History Erie is made possible by funding provided by @erie_insurance, Thomas B. Hagen, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development`s PA Arts and Culture Recovery Program, @padeptofed Job Training and Education Programs Grant, and @eriecommunityfoundation.
All the videos from the premiere will soon be posted at PAHumanities.org/Voices and on @pahumanities’ YouTube channel.
