Students and faculty from the Film & Media Studies Program in Arts & Sciences recently teamed up with the owners of McNeil’s Hair Studio, 2619 S. Big Bend Blvd., to create an archive of African-American oral histories. Joseph McNeil, who runs the studio with his wife, Rochelle, gave free haircuts to patrons 55 and over in exchange for their stories, recollections and words of encouragement. McNeil noted that the project “is simply our way of giving back for their many sacrifices and struggles for equality.” Pictured (from left) is Senior Lecturer Pier Marton, who sets up a camera while junior Jonathan To places a microphone on participant Vivian LeVora-Whitley.
