The Marietta History Center is continuing its series of “Diverse Cobb” programming in November with interviews chronicling the experiences of black military veterans.
“Color My Soldier” is a new series of oral history interviews featuring black Cobb veterans by Tim Penn. He’s the creator of previous Diverse Cobb programming, including “Lemon Street Chronicles” and “Color My Teacher.”
The veterans featured are Clinton Jones, Army; Rev. Jerry Dodd, Army; Vonna Wallace, Air Force; Jessie Bonner Sr., Air Force; and Commander Napoleon Parker Jr., Army.
The interviews can be seen every Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Nov. 30 at the Marietta History Center (1 Depot Street).
Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for seniors 55 and older and students; and free admission for Marietta History Center members, children under 5, and those with a military ID.
The veterans interviews will be available to watch on the Marietta History Center YouTube channel in the future.
