[Arizona-students] Living History Group Meets at Convention

[Michael Freholm]

My Fellow Federationists,
On Tuesday July 1st from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Period Room, 
Atrium Mezzanine,

the new Living History Group will have our first official 
meeting.  The purpose of the Living History Group is:

  1. Collect material related to the history of the National 
Federation of the Blind told in the words and voices of those who 
lived it through recordings of NFB events, one-on-one interviews of 
key figures in the movement, media interviews, and other material in 
an audio or video format.

2. Collect and post for online listening or viewing recordings of 
past NFB events of all kinds. These will include national state and 
local chapter activities.

3. Develop a Web resource where these materials can be accessed by 
those researching  the history and development of the organized blind 
movement and the National Federation of the Blind and to serve as a 
living historical record of the blind to win first class citizenship 
in society.



Please come and discuss with us these important issues of preserving 
our rich recorded history, adding to the collection and making it as 
available as possible.



I would also, like to mention, if you have an event during the 
convention you would like recorded, please contact me at

Looking forward to our family reunion next week!!

Michael K. Freholm
