It was war on a scale never imagined. A war that would introduce frightening new weapons and new words like genocide.  And it was a war that would forever change what it meant to be an American. From the producers of Mississippi Moments comes a new podcast that takes a deep dive into the stories of everyday Mississippians, who worked, trained, fought, and sacrificed and somehow survived the greatest conflict of the Twentieth Century. The Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage and the Dale Center for the Study of War & Society, in partnership with the Mississippi Humanities Council, presents, Voices of Our People: World War II. In this ten-episode series, host Bill Ellison will be your guide through twelve hours of gripping stories and in-depth analysis, provided by some of the state's leading scholars, and brought to life by those who lived it.
