Curatorial Commentary

This telephone interview is a good example of long-distance oral history outreach. I was pleased to do a virtual program with the University Circle arts district in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2017. Mr. Henry attended that presentation and soon volunteered for the Oral History Project. For more information about onsite outreach in Dallas/Fort Worth or long-distance outreach around the country, please contact oralhistory@jfk.org. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
