The University of Southern Mississippi's Oral History program is one of the best in the nation. When I was an undergrad, and then a grad, in the history department, I had the pleasure of working closely with a number of faculty who'd been involved in the oral history program since its inception, and when I checked my Facebook feed today, I've never wanted to be "back home" more.
