SOUTHERN'S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Southern's Oral History Project
If you are contacted by PCI, please consider sharing stories of your Southern experience with them. These stories will be collected for an online interactive story wall and printed in Southern's Oral History book.
If you haven't been contacted by PCI but you would like to share your story, you may do so by calling 1-855-976-2516. We'd love to hear your story!
Please note that while you will have the opportunity purchase the book and other Southern items, a purchase is NOT required or expected for the inclusion of your story.
