So today we began working on the 1960s material. I can't believe how many head shots are in the collection for this decade. We spent the day working on just photos and hopefully we will be able to finish them the next day we come. The photos in this collection had more information written on the back, I'm guessing because more of these people are still around and Bob has been able to speak with them about their experience in the black radio industry. I think as the collection develops there will be more information added to these materials as more people find out about the project and are able to add any knowledge they possess. I really do hope that anyone who works on this project in the future is able to talk with the people in the photos and get all the information they have about this time in Birmingham history because it would be a real shame to lose what they know.
