One of the coolest aspects of this project for me is getting to be a part of sharing this history with the next generation. Mr. Meredith received letters from all of over the world and from historical figures like Josephine Baker and Rosa Parks. I never thought I would ever have the opportunity to be a part of a historical project like this! It's amazing that I will be able to show my grandchildren these letters and share with them the importance of preserving history.
As you can see, Mrs. Parks' letter was short but kind and encouraging. Most of the letters that I transcribe were short and to the point. Some are longer, several pages, and those letters take more time to transcribe.
