For the past few years, students in Jim Sheeler's immersion journalism/multimedia storytelling class have spent the bulk of the semester at Eliza Bryant Village, the nation's oldest continually operating African-American nursing home, located in the Hough
neighborhood of Cleveland. Armed with videocameras, microphones, headphones and cell phones, they’ve created audio slideshows documenting the lives of former actors and gospel singers. They’ve produced audio and video stories of loss, and of love. In this digital work in progress, Sheeler will reveal the lessons behind the stories.
