A barber, shoemaker's apprentice, and bass player sutured a beating heart by lamplight in 1893. No antibiotics. No precedent. The patient outlived him. His name was Daniel Hale Williams, the doctor who made God share jurisdiction.

Working on a small oral history project:

https://tttimetospeak.org/

The idea is simple: preserve and share audio testimonies by people who stutter, with transcripts, metadata, #accessibility in mind, and a minimal/open-web approach.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people interested in #oralhistory, #history, #disability, #disabilityStudies, #disabilityhistory, #archives, #diversity, #digitalhumanities or #stuttering.
