This chapter describes a grassroots effort to engage youth and elders in an intergenerational oral history project that uses personal testimony to share stories of resilience and suffering from everyday racism in the United States. Using a truth and reconciliation model, these stories are used as vehicles for persona healing and community activism. Given the present moment of #SAYTHEIRNAME in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives, our documentation of this powerful racial justice, truth-telling testimonies project joins a growing archive of wounds and resistance that define Black life in the United States, since 1619.
