Learning OHMS

Yesterday, while exploring the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer (OHMS ), created by Doug Boyd at the University of Kentucky, I was led to  “OHMS Viewer: synchronized transcript” . By way of showing the capabilities of OHMS (specifically, the way OHMS connects the textual search term to that moment in the recorded interview), I was able to listen to the “Interview with Martin Luther King, Jr., March 18, 1964.” Very fitting for the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I shall leave you with a segment of that interview regarding the slogan “Freedom Now:”
