SOHP presents The Sonic South: In Sickness and in Health

For our 2019 Sonic South listening room, In Sickness & In Health, we’re featuring short audio docs from the top five finalists of our recent audio competition. Producers were asked to follow a few rules, including choosing interviews with southerners about health, illness, and medical care in their own lives, in their families, and in their communities. This competition was designed to highlight SOHP’s ongoing research project Stories to Save Lives. The listening room will be free and open to the public, and free parking is available at Chapel Hill Public Library.

Since 1973, the SOHP has recorded interviews with southerners from mill workers to civil rights leaders to future presidents, which are available digitally through the Southern Historical Collection at Wilson Library.
