Oklahoma History Center
Oklahoma City, OK
by Jason Harris, Director of Education
On Friday, April 13th, documentary historian Ken Burns made his way to the
Oklahoma History Center for a series of programs to introduce his newest piece,
The Dust Bowl. Burns traveled to Oklahoma to offer viewers a sneak peek at the
upcoming documentary and made his way to the panhandle where he local
interviewees got the chance to see
the film in its final form.
Ken Burns spent the afternoon visiting
with a number of groups before his
evening program. His first
engagement for the day was with a
group of graduate students selected
from universities from across the
state. Public history and film students
from UCO, OSU, OU, OCU, and
OCCC got the chance to see clips
from the film and gain firsthand experiences from producing public history
documentaries. Burns provided valuable insight into the research and production
process for historical documentaries.
Early in the evening guests at a special reception had the opportunity to hear from
Burns as well as a group of 6th grade students from Canton Public Schools. The
students (pictured in photo to the right with Jason Harris, OHC Education Director
