We want short original material you have written about your experiences working for change. Excerpts from previously published materials are also welcome.

 

DISCLAIMER:  Please note that personal recollections are just that: memories that may in some instances be "a little frayed around the edges"  - with some inaccuracies in dates, places, and names. By the very nature of human beings' fallible memories, oral histories or written recollections are full of "errors," no matter how honest and conscientious the interviewee or writer is. But what's important is the essential truth of what they're saying, what their experience was like, how it influenced their lives, etc. The planning committee generally does not attempt to assure complete accuracy.  Neither does the committee necessarily agree with views stated by individual participants in these recollections.
