SHARING YOUR MEMORIES
SHARING YOUR MEMORIES
Memories are our recollections of past events, and we all have memories worth sharing. The Roots of Braggtown community mural project will use memories of Braggtown residents past and present as artwork for the mural. Dr. Charles Denton Johnson, Chair and Director of the Public History Program at North Carolina Central University, is assisting the Braggtown Committee Association (BCA) in collecting oral histories. Local persons interested in giving an oral interview should contact Vannessa Mason-Evans, President of the BCA, at vevans2016@yahoo.com.
Below, you will find a questionnaire to follow to contribute your memories for the Braggtown Mural Project. Beneath the questionnaire is a link to Online-Voice-Recorder.com, an online application allowing you to record your answers to the questions below using a computer. It will not work from a telephone or tablet.
