Community Oral History Day

Event Date: May 14, 2026

Do you remember the energy, excitement, and unforgettable moments of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta? Were you there to witness history firsthand?

The Atlanta University Center Woodruff Library’s Archives Research Center, in collaboration with StoryCorps, invites you to participate in The Eternal Flame, Voices from the Games that Change Atlanta: Community Oral History Day—a special opportunity to share your personal experiences and memories from the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Games that Changed Atlanta.

The Archives Research Center invites community members, including Atlanta residents of the Adir Park, West End, and Vine City communities, faculty, students, staff, and alumni from Clark Atlanta University, The Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse, Morris Brown, and Spelman College — come and help preserve this historic moment through our Community Oral History Day.

Your story will become part of a living archive preserved and made accessible through the AUC Woodruff Library’s digital platform and at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Please share with your networks.

Please secure your appointment here and make a date to secure your story in the record books.
