Clarkston Community Project
The Clarkston Oral History Project aims to record and preserve the stories of people in Clarkston, Georgia. As Clarkston continues to undergo considerable change, the city remains welcoming, diverse, energetic, and a unique representation of urban transformation in the greater Atlanta area. Our project invites all people who consider themselves as part of the Clarkston community to share their experiences through one-on-one oral history interviews. Our goal is to highlight diverse stories, and with participant approval we will preserve a mosaic of voices and provide open access to the recordings for students, researchers, teachers, and the engaged public. Your stories and history are important!
As a fellow with the Emory Oral History Program, Azadeh Vatanpour, who works on the minority communities in the Middle East in the Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Religions program, takes the lead in facilitating the connection between the Clarkston community and Emory Oral History Program.
