In this episode, AFC Folklife Specialists Michelle Stefano and Meg Nicholas chat with Tameshia Rudd-Ridge and Jourdan Brunson, from their CCG project “If Tenth Street Could Talk.” The project follows descendants and residents as they work to preserve the historic freedom colony’s history. Rudd-Ridge and Brunson share how they met, how their own family histories led them to begin work on the project, and give other aspiring community documentarians advice on getting started.
