This article describes the process that five graduate students interviewed 11 community members about their memories of racial desegregation in southern Illinois. The researchers used these stories to develop instructional materials and a supplementary website (Beyond a Story Well Told) for a middle school classroom. The article concludes that the researchers' use of oral histories about segregation in Carbondale gives students the unique opportunity to witness how a national event was and is relevant to their own community.
