From H-Oralhist:
The Oral History Association is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 OHA Awards. Winners will be honored at the 2013 OHA Annual Meeting, to be held from October 9-13, 2013 at the Skirvin Hotel, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. For more information about the meeting, go to http://www.oralhistory.org/annual-meeting/.
We draw special attention to Emilye Crosby of the State University of New York at Geneseo, who won the OHA’s Article Award for her piece, “White Privilege, Black Burden: Lost Opportunities and Deceptive Narratives in School Desegregation in Claiborne County, Mississippi,” published in the Fall 2012 Oral History Review. Dr. Crosby has been a member of SUNY Geneseo’s faculty since 1995. Her research focuses on African American history, the Civil Rights Movement, and Women’s history. She edited a collection of essays entitled, Civil Rights History from the Ground Up: Local Struggles, a National Movement. Crosby’s monograph, A Little Taste of Freedom: The Black Freedom Struggle in Claiborne County, Mississippi received the 2006 McLemore Prize from the Mississippi Historical Society.
Congratulations to all of this year’s winners!
