Interviewing
the Elders
 |
On Saturday March
22, 2003, the Elders from the Dunbar Alumni Federation and the students
came together at NVLP headquarters for a day of interviews. Having
completed their research and training, the students could not wait to put
into practice everything they had learned during the past month. Each student
team set up their interview, including selecting the location and setting
up the videotaping equipment. The morning taping session included interviews
with Dr. Paul Cooke ‘33, Mr. James Banks ‘36, Mrs.
Nora Drew Gregory ‘30, Mrs. Lauretta Chambers Jackson ‘45,
and Dr. Jean Sinkford ‘49. That afternoon the second group of
students completed their interviews with General Elmer T. Brooks ‘49,
Dr. Lawrence Graves, and Mrs. Virginia Fowler Hightower ‘34.

Working with
the students from Dunbar, the NVLP produced a short compilation
tape of their experience. The Elders and the students reviewed the transcripts
of their interviews and picked the sections they wanted to be included. Students
then participated in the editing process at NVLP. The finished video
was shown at a student assembly held at Dunbar in May. It will be shown
again in October at the Dunbar Alumni Federation gala.
