The

Haitian Oral History Project
A project to capture and share the oral histories, folklore, music, and art of Haitian people living in and around Medford.
The goals are to honor Haitian culture and to give the larger community a glimpse into a culture rich in stories, music, proverbs and artwork.
The project was supported by a grant from Medford Health Matters, and the Medford Transcript.
