How can journalists, teachers, researchers, and historians bring history to life?
Longtime Democrat and Chronicle reporter Justin Murphy recently left the newspaper to join the team at Our Local History. The program empowers communities to engage with their local histories in different ways.

In studio:
- Justin Murphy, research and communications coordinator at Our Local History, and author of “Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger: School Segregation in Rochester, New York"
- Shane Weigand, co-director of Our Local History
