I-26, Corridor of Change
Rob Amberg, Madison County, North Carolina
Essay Sections:
Recommended Resources:
Completed work on I-26, Corridor of Change has been presented in a number
of formats. An exhibition of photographs, captions, and text panels, titled “I-26, A Work in Progress,” was
mounted at the North Carolina Museum of History in 1999 and traveled to
other venues since then. Essays and portfolios of photographs have been
published in the Marshall News Record, Southern Changes Magazine, the Southern
Quarterly, and Audubon Magazine. I have presented the work as a performance
and lecture piece that includes music, slides, and an oral history dialogue,
to the Oral History Association 2000 Conference and the 2001 Appalachian
Studies Conference. With the Speakers Bureau of the North Carolina Humanities
Council, I present I-26, Corridor of Change with public libraries, universities
and community groups. Oral Histories:
