Monticello – Getting Word Oral History Project
The Getting Word African American oral history project led by Monticello brings the stories of hundreds of descendants of enslaved workers and their ancestors to life. Refresh used live-filtering and inline audio and video multimedia to bring these rich stories to life.
Using WordPress as the back-end content management system allowed Refresh to organize a intricately complex database of people, places and media. Staff can now add new stories, people and connections without any need for technical knowledge or database management.
