Voices Heard

The Voices Heard project is a collection of African American oral histories about life in Lewes in the last half of the 20th-century. The footage below was collected in 2022 and is a full transcription of the thoughts, emotions, and opinions of members of the community who lived through the changing racial and cultural landscape before, during, and after the Civil Rights Movement.

The Voices Heard Exhibition opened in 2024 as a companion to these interviews, entitled Voices Heard: The History & Legacy of the Black Community in Lewes. It was on display at the Lewes History Museum until the end of 2024 and is now available as a traveling exhibition.

In February of 2025, we added the Daisey Family Legacy Collection Presentation authored by Darryl Daisey to our resources. Please click the link below to view the presentation.
