Description
This presentation was a public history project completed in the fall of 2024 for Junior Seminar (HST-380-502). This project was completed by Dawson Helton, Bryce Fletcher, and Ty Ledford. The project was a part of The Impact of World War II in Eastern Kentucky Collection. Our project, in particular, was titled Sammie Slusher: The Price of Freedom. The project consisted of a poster and a PowerPoint presentation covering the life and military service of Magoffin County native and Silver Star recipient Staff Sergeant Sammie Slusher. The university printed a physical poster, and digital copies of both the poster and PowerPoint exist within ScholarWorks @ Morehead State. The project's goal was to uncover the details of Staff Sergeant Slusher's life and military service and present them in a way that would be easy for the public to access and add to the narrative around eastern Kentucky during the Second World War. We achieved this through our research and the creation of our poster and PowerPoint presentations.
