Oral History of the F.W. Urban League

At That Time: Fort Wayne Urban League SoundWalk project is an audio documentary/oral history project about the local Urban League (FWUL) and the neighborhood it has impacted. A collaboration with SoundWalk creator Kurt Roembke, the app will allow users to interactively navigate through the various histories, starting at the very beginning when the city’s black residents began to settle. 19 participants were interviewed.

The project was sponsored by Indiana Humanities, Fort Wayne Media Collaborative, the Indiana Landmarks Black Preservation Program, and PNC Bank.

Below is an extended trailer for the project that will be completed before April 2024.
