About the Author

My name is Aiyana Gross and I am an undergraduate student with the UCF History Department also pursuing a minor in Anthropolgy. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of the City of Orlando and the Parramore community as well as the Public History Department.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The Parramore Speaks project is an initiative hosted by the UCF Public History Department designed to give agency back to the resident’s of Parramore by putting the preservation of their history back into their hands. Through a collaborated with the City of Orlando, RICHES and the PHC Internship, I had the unique opportunity to be a part of a team dedicated to preserving and sharing the endangered local histories of communities located here in Central Florida. I worked personally with the oral interviews and transcriptions for individuals such as Reggie McGill, Alzo J. Reddick, Walter Hawkins and Paul Perkins, tirelessly ensuring that their words and stories would endure and survive as the community around them continues to evolve and change.
