A Civil Rights Memoir

Matthew Rinaldi has published Fire at the Freedom House, which he’s worked on for over a decade.

It begins with the trip by Oberlin students to Mississippi with OACR during winter break in 1966, which one reviewer calls “very relevant” to current-day issues. “The Black residents of small-town Mississippi, working at the direction of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, overcame difficulties as they struggled with some white volunteers from the North to integrate businesses and do the work of voter registration.”  Many Oberlin classmates are included. 

The book can be ordered directly from any bookstore, and it’s also available from Amazon.

Pandemic Story

President Ambar's Chief of Staff tells the story of Oberlin's leadership planning from March through November of last year.  It is dramatic and detailed.  Read it at https://inside.oberlin.edu/oberlin-2020/
