Oral History Project: 1974 Tornadoes

Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1974 Tornado that forever changed our landscape and our lives.  Help preserve this history by sharing your stories via an oral history interview.  In collaboration with WYSO, the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center is working to gather stories of Wilberforce, both before, during and, most importantly, after the devastation.  Please complete the questionnaire below to get things started.

Questions?  Call 937-376-4944, extension 0 or email infoNAAMCC@ohiohistory.org.
