Krueger-Scott is the largest collection of oral history interviews
conducted with African-American residents of Newark who came to
the city during the Great Migration, as well as those whose local
roots stretch back generations. The faculty, staff and graduate
students at Rutgers University-Newark who have worked on the collection
in collaboration with local cultural institutions are proud to
have helped preserve, archive, and make public these remarkable
oral narratives that describe an as yet unwritten history of twentieth
century African-American life.
