Black American Movement at Armstrong
Happiness and Hardtimes is the title of oral history interviews done in 1973 by Armstrong students and kept in the Minis Collection of Lane Library. The transcribed texts have been digitized recently by library staff member Kathryn Wineland and are available from the Special Collections Web pages.
Armstrong students Sam Jones, Bruce Washington, Herman Johnson and Rich Morgan, members of the Black American Movement (B.A.M.) student organization were interviewed for the oral history project. The four discuss Black Awareness week, a new celebration that had just been held on Armstrong's campus. The 1973 interview also addresses Black identity, on campus and in the wider world, touches on the role of women in the movement and their work to elect a Black man Mayor of Savannah.
