The African Americans in the Milwaukee Police Department Oral
History Project is comprised of twelve audio interviews with retired and current Milwaukee
Police Department officers of African descent, as well as two current African American
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Police Department officers. Narrators describe their
experiences as Black people living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in addition to
earlier places of residence. Will Tchakirides conducted the interviews between 2016 and 2017
at officers' homes, the UWM Cultures and Communities Program office, Wisconsin Black
Historical Society and Museum (WBHSM), and the University of Memphis. WBHSM Director
Clayborn Benson provided select assistance with interview recruitment and the coordination
process.
