King Center Oral History Collection

King Center History Harvest is a artist led, community-based oral history and creative documentation project preserving the stories, memories, and experiences connected to Milwaukee’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.
Through recorded oral history interviews, photography, and creative storytelling expressed through film, the project invites community members to reflect on what the King Center has meant to them, what they remember from the space, and what they hope for its future. These stories will be woven together into a short film and art book, creating a living record of the people, relationships, and experiences that have shaped the King Center and its place in the community.
