The Voice of Witness oral history book series amplifies the voices of people directly impacted by—and fighting against—injustice, using an ethics-driven methodology that combines journalistic integrity and a humanizing, literary approach to oral history.

The series explores issues of race-, gender-, and class-based inequity, featuring a diversity of voices, including those of wrongfully convicted Americans, undocumented immigrants, agricultural workers, Indigenous peoples, communities displaced from public housing, and more. Their personal stories offer readers an engaging understanding of issues that might otherwise seem abstract.
