In this episode of “Conversations That Matter,” two old friends come together to discuss a life-changing oral history project that they worked on together in Hancock County, TN. Katie Hoffman, joins her friend Theresa Hammons, Director of the McKinney Center, to talk about how one small but mighty Hancock County group—the former students of the Vardy Community School—taught them life-changing lessons and inspired them as scholars.

Conversations That Matter is a podcast regularly produced by the McKinney Center.
