This series contains oral histories of African American clergy, educators, businessmen, politicians, community activists, former military men, laborers, and citizens of Lower Roxbury, Boston, MA.

Of particular interest are the interviews of Adelaide Cromwell, the first African American instructor at New York's Hunter College; Charles Dawson, the first African American Mechanic at the Wellesley Department of Public Works; and Byron Rushing, civil rights activist and Massachusetts State Representative. Also included are interviews of Charles Thomas, a Shoe Shiner who worked at his step-father's parlor where informal "political" discussions were held; Loretta Dixon, a member of the Boston Public Schools staff and the daughter of Edward Dixon, Boston's first African American high school teacher; and James Silcott, an Architect and the son of Joseph Silcott, a chef at the Charlesgate Hotel which was later converted into a Boston University women's dorm. All of the records are digital files consisting of audio (.aiff / .mp3 / .wma), video (.avi / .mov / iMovieProject / MiniDVs), transcripts, scans, and photographs created by Lolita Parker Jr. and London Parker-McWhorter.
