Dear Hannah: Derrick Brown's Oral History (#YourStory) (Episode 2.17 UBP Has Been Replaced by Facebook, Black Twitter) (2m00sec)

September 29, 2025

In June 2023, The Computer History Museum (Mountain View, CA) published my oral history (https://bit.ly/CHMOH_DB_YT) for my contributions to the computing world as an Internet strategist for The Universal Black Pages (an Internet directory of African-related content), and as the founding director of KnowledgeBase’s Project CHIP (which refurbished and redistributed 1500+ computers to Georgia families and organizations). My oral history experience inspired a new project called #YourStory. #YourStory combines #StandupStorytelling with principles and best practices of oral history recording to document the thoughts and experiences of ordinary people who do extraordinary work. EPISODE 2.17 "TRANSCRIPT": 71m37sec ... 72m08sec ... next question ... who has taken the UBP's place in today's Internet? INSTAGRAM, BLACK TWITTER & FACEBOOK ... 73m37sec
