Vibrant Lives: Black Stories in Vermont

Discover the powerful stories of Black Vermonters through “Vibrant Lives,” a groundbreaking oral history project by Rajnii Eddins and René Rentería. Fifteen young interviewers, including Eddins’ daughter and niece, captured intimate tales from elders like Civil Rights activist Christine Longmore Hughes, refugee Aden Haji, and Afro-jazz artist Irene KeruBo Webster. Combining video, audio, and striking portraits, this exhibit—opening June 30 at the South Burlington Public Library—celebrates overlooked voices and fosters connection across generations.
