About the Project Authors

Marina López and Kerry Taylor are the co-coordinators of The Citadel Oral History Program (COHP). Before joining COHP, Marina López was a counselor to Spanish-speaking immigrant families in the Charleston, South Carolina area. Kerry Taylor is a historian at The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina, specializing in twentieth-century U.S., labor, African American, and oral history. Their work with COHP resulted in a collection of thirty Latino oral history interviews, thirteen of which are already available to the public through the Lowcountry Digital Library.
