oral history – History on the Hill

SOHP Interns’ Performance

On Wednesday, April 30 at 3:00 pm on the front porch of the Love House and Hutchins Forum, four undergraduate interns with the Southern Oral History Program will share a live performance based on their collected oral histories from this spring semester. Their project focused on gay and lesbian student activism and life at UNC-Chapel Hill from the 1970s onward, and their interviewees shared many remarkable stories.

The announcement ran in the Daily Tar Heel on 10 September 1974.

The interns conducted research in the University Archives while preparing for their oral histories. We’re excited to see them share the stories of Carolina students and staff!

Are you interested in the history of student activism at UNC Chapel Hill? What about the history of sexual education, sexuality counseling services, or LGBTQ life on UNC’s campus?

The Fall 2013 interns of the Southern Oral History Program will present selections from their current oral history project on two early student-run LGBT-rights organizations at UNC: the Carolina Gay Association (now the Sexuality and Gender Alliance) and the Human Sexuality Information and Counseling Service.

The performance will take place at the Love House tomorrow (Dec 5) at 3pm with a discussion afterward. Refreshments provided.

The Love House is located at 410 East Franklin Street. Hope to see you there!

2002 Prior to an $18 million, three-year renovation of Memorial Hall, the University held a ceremonial closing of the campus landmark.

2004 "The Gift" was dedicated. A mosaic of light-colored brick, it is the campus's first monument to Native Americans. Haliwa-Saponi artist Senora Lynch of Warrenton, North Carolina, created the public art. "The Gift" can be found on the courtyard between the old and new Student Union buildings.

2005 Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was on campus to deliver the Robert and Helen Siler Distinguished Lecture. Kennedy's talk, which was titled "A Contract With Our Future," was also a part of UNC's Earth Day observance.
