Counterculture
 As always, the goal for the Oral History Project is to produce an informative and engaging radio documentary. To this end, a handful of interviewees from varying backgrounds and life experiences are chosen that will provide a wide variety of colorful stories. Different aspects of the topic are incorporated, so that the listener will receive a comprehensive understanding of counterculture.

 This year, we chose counterculture as the topic because it’s a part of history that we have not explored in great depth to this date. Since counterculture has many connections to a multitude of people, grass root organizations, and businesses in Urbana-Champaign, we decided it was the perfect topic because local connections are a crucial part of the projects. In addition, the historical perspective was something we thought would generate some interesting stories.
