Summary

Like so many neighborhoods, Kalamazoo's Eastside has seen its economic ups and downs. To raise community pride and foster a resurgence of the neighborhood, the Kalamazoo County Land Bank, Vibrant Kalamazoo, and the Eastside Neighborhood Association came together to create 'Eastside Voices.' It's an intergenerational oral history and book project with stories from current and former Eastside residents.

Notes

"All stories were shared and transcribed in 2019. Support provided by the Making Arts Grow in Kalamazoo (MAGIK), a program of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo."
