Oral history project served as incubator for civil rights leaders
Briefly

The oral history project took years to complete, but Smith and Kim Schultz, the seminary's coordinator of creative initiatives, interviewed the Jacksons; Wallace, the former Chicago branch secretary of Operation Breadbasket; the Rev. Janette Wilson, adviser to Jackson and director of PUSH Excel; the Rev. Martin Deppe, who served in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood and is author of 'Operation Breadbasket: An Untold Story of Civil Rights in Chicago'; Hermene Hartman, founder of N'DIGO Studio and publications; and Massoni's wife, Betty.
"There's going to be lots of delightful surprises for folks ... the connection of the people, who was doing what," Schultz said.
