He has written five acclaimed books on labor and civil rights history, many grounded in oral history, including Black Workers Remember: An Oral History of Segregation, Unionism, and the Freedom Struggle. He has won numerous awards for his publications, and is also the recipient of the Weyerhaueser Foundation’s Martin Luther King Award for community leadership and service. He is the author of “'Sharecroppers’ Troubadour': Can We Use Songs and Oral Poetry as Oral History?" (available to read for free for a limited time) in the Oral History Review.
