Portrait of Yellow Springs"
Through the Eyes of Our Elders A video Presentation by Patti Dallas |
|||
|
This
video is a collection of interviews of elders in Yellow Springs, combined
with over 200 photographs and organized into nine chapters.
|
|||
 |
Reflections
on growing up in Yellow Springs. What the village looked like in earlier
times.
|
||
| Arthur Morgan came to Yellow Springs in 1920, when Antioch College was on its last legs. Morgan was probably the most influential person in the history of the Village. |  |
||
 |
Antioch College has always been a huge influence on Yellow Springs. This is a rare opportunity to hear Freda and Irwin Abrams sing THE ANTIOCH SONG. |
||
|
|
 |
||
 |
Probably the most remembered event in the history of the Village. This is an especially thorough chapter with lots of pictures. | ||
|
Reflections on how some of the businesses got their start, as well as the role Willa Dallas played in the history of the Children's Center. |
 |
||
 |
Remember
the Apple Butter Festival? Or the parade for the swimming pool?
|
||
| Yellow Springs was not always an open, friendly place. The history of civil rights in the Village culminates in the 1964 showdown at Gegner's Barbershop. |  |
||
 |
Reflections on our beloved natural preserve, and the ways in which it has been threatened through the years. |
||
