| Description: |
In 1996, thanks to two research grants, the Oral History Project was able to pursue its objectives with a research project on "black clergy under apartheid in the Natal Midlands". At regular intervals workshops with the participation of archivists, historians, psychologists and anthropologists were held to discuss the results and refine the methodology. Thirty-four ministers, both from the mission churches and the African Independent Churches, were interviewed. They told of their experience of apartheid not only in society but also, painfully, in their own churches. Extracts from these interviews have been published under the title The Casspir and the Cross: Voices of Black Clergy in the Natal Midlands. |
