An account of the resource
Interview with friends and coworkers John Beldon Scott (62) of Scottsburg, Indiana and Steve McGuire (50) of Lawrence, Kansas.
John (age 62) and Steve (age 50) talk about the flood of the Iowa River in June 2008. They are both art professors who lost their offices, and Steve’s home was also flooded.
Both faculty at School of Art and Art History (00:00:53) -- First signs of trouble - truck full of sand near his house. Thought it wasn't a big deal - planning a bike trip from Canada to Mexico (00:01:48) -- Son with Cerebral Palsy, concerned about getting him out. Lives in "Mosquito Flats" - idea to build a levee around the area. People flooded in to help. Having sandbags shipped from Oregon. More laid in Iowa 2008 than in Katrina (00:04:01) -- Decided he couldn't go on the trip. Walked over the levee at night when he couldn't sleep. Steve Miller, City Engineer - "I thought we had it." Had to evacuate in thirty minutes. Threw everything in a pickup truck. Pulling vehicles out of the mud (00:07:30) -- John - summer director of School of Art. Just moved into a new building. Disbelief that a disaster could occur. Had to prepare for 3.5 feet. Moved to temporary offices. Meetings every day (00:12:05) -- Thursday, June 12 - removing valuables - slide collection. Worth several million dollars. 6 a.m. call - the building would be closed before they could move it. Gave them twenty minutes. People came from everywhere to help (00:15:30) -- Water - goes everywhere, ruins everything (00:20:40) -- Steve - allowed back into his house eleven days later - did the cleanup themselves. Snuck back in on June 13 to see the neighborhood - swift current. Couldn't get to the spare key - human feces in the water. Finally got the key, got some belongings, got in his canoe. Swept away by the current, bounced against houses. Got a tetanus shot - hard to come by at that time (00:22:25) -- Rethinking the river. The river has the "final say," hard to grasp the whole picture - the river was everywhere (00:29:50) -- Understanding of the city and University has changed. Respect for city bureaucracy. University hasn't tried to assign blame, only wants to move forward positively (00:34:10) -- Steve - feels better about people. Flood taught him to just keep on going, no regrets (00:37:30) -- What is the Art School's place on campus? The importance of campus culture and community (00:39:50)

Interview with wife and husband Judy Miller (50) of Dubuque, Iowa and Kenneth L. Miller (46) of Casper, Wyoming
Judy (age 50) and Kenneth (age 46) Miller remember the flooding of their home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The couple recall many good Samaritans that have helped the Miller's recover as the couple attempts to rebuild their home.
Tuesday night Judy planned to sandbag (00:00:37) -- Ken said Judy shouldn't because the house would be evacuated (00:01:26) -- Judy's car was near Dairy Queen in Cedar Rapids, she did get car and it would have been flooded if she didn't. Ken is disabled. Asked meter man to show her how to turn off meter in basement. Loaded up stuff & dogs - 2 basset hounds. Judy grew up in Dubuque her whole life did not really know how to prepare for flood; tried to make decisions about what to do; did not really understand that water would be higher than basement; neighbors told Judy that previous flood only gave couple feet of water in their basement (00:01:30) -- Left Harley motorcycle (Ken's 40th birthday present); friend took it to Dan's brother's garage (00:06:02) -- 103-year-old home took water up to the ceiling in the garage; lost 4 cars (00:07:00) -- Lost everything on the first floor; neighbors helped (00:07:49) -- Makes you feel good when people come by and help; co-worker gives Judy a hug daily and give moral support. Would have had house paid for in 10 years if not for flood. There are good people (00:08:24) -- Seen side of human race - good side - one church gave out $100.00 gift certificate; another person gave $100.00 bill; things like this blew Judy away (00:09:43) -- People in Judy's van pool gave her brand new coffee maker (00:10:50) -- Ken: had to be on waiting list for contractors; Ken was lucky that he could do some of the work himself; said lost 4 cars; he is restoring one himself; he is going to save the pool table as well JM: Z29 68 that he is restoring to pass on to his son. Judy admires Ken's patience. Toughest thing is the heart wrenching things - 3 weeks before flood had to put 14 year old basset hound down; week of flood had to put down 14 year old cat (00:11:25) -- Got a puppy after the flood; he makes them laugh; because of flood he got parvo; died end of August. Judy didn't think she could take anymore. The puppy was their sunshine when they felt like throwing in the towel (00:14:30) -- Week or so ago got 7 ½ month old puppy; have 8 year old basset that was abused; adopted him (age 4?). New dog "Reily" gives them new hope (00:15:00) -- Dog loves them unconditionally; does not care if they have to cook out of the garage (00:17:00) -- Do not take things for granted like hot water; learned to live without TV; cook with gas grill and crockpot. We both come from good strong German stock. Judy- didn't know if they could make the house safe enough for Ken's health and new grandchild (00:17:35) -- Became grandparents Sept 1st, it was a happy moment (00:18:50) -- We are making our house better than before; the good side of the flood; awesome furnace now; concerned about Ken's lung disease and the new baby's health (00:20:00) -- Making the home healthier and compatible for old age; ramp, shower bar etc.; reconfigure house and make bigger; now can fit large family in house for holidays (00:21:00) -- Ken - windows are now modern technology; say goodbye to 103 year old windows; flood exposed wood rot so they were able to fix it; like getting a new house Judy - house is greener now; basement is much better; less bugs (00:23:00) -- Judy - I remember when I packed to evacuate. I forgot to pack underwear for you (Ken)…had to go buy new ones. Thursday 12 June at the veterinarian with Wriggly (pet), was called and told water was high; Judy started to cry; veterinarian tech offered help, offered a place to stay; people like that were heroes. Friday 13th saw how high the water was at the mother mosque; Judy took dogs for walk and had a good cry; did not want Ken to see her cry. Called FEMA and asked to start paperwork. Ken - Had to run on generators for energy at the house; had 7 gas cans @ gas station; Met a lady and sons from Boise, Idaho helped Judy and Ken remove the kitchen floor (00:24:47) -- People from Sioux City helped gut basement; haul out stuff; they had only met once; another couple brought them a generator; people, again, that they barely knew; they have made new friends due to the flood (00:28:00) -- Adam worked very hard on our house; now that he is a dad he is busy, but comes out every chance he gets. People at hospital give support. I have worked there 23 years. UI Hospital has given money. Co-workers have given time & help. Susan threw a Pampered Chef party to replace some of Judy's housewares (kitchen equipment). Judy is very concerned about what to save and what to throw away. The last pictures of Rerun and Radar, pictures of my mom out of the cedar chest. Judy salvaged Ken's Boyscout uniform (00:30:00) -- Judy - I remember the time you gave me a patch off your uniform. Ken - You deserved it. Judy - I'll be glad when we get back to old routine, when biggest worry is what to put in the crockpot (00:33:47) -- Just think how many people are far behind us. We didn't shut windows 2 months (00:35:00) -- Someone broke into the house! Judy - going to work has kept me sane. Everyone has been so good to me at work and very understanding (00:36:00) -- Had to heat water on grill to do dishes; taking showers is hard; lots of tears; dogs - walking them is good; dogs love me unconditionally. Biggest hurdle was when got house treated/sanitized for mildew. Big deal to new the windows and doors (00:39:00)

Liz (age 27) and Kate (age 22) talk about the apartment they lost in the Iowa River flood in June 2008. They were given just one hour to evacuate, and lost most of their belongings and their home.
First night of the flood - noisy machinery, stress, making a plan. Liz sent home from work early (00:00:48) -- Came home and saw people packing - being evacuated. Trying to pack up the cats, pack up belongings. Katherine wasn't home, Liz had to decide what to bring for her. Katherine was in class (00:03:10) -- Went to their grandparent's house - feeling powerless. Out of their houses for two weeks (00:07:02) -- Twenty inches of moldy water. Shelves caved in under the weight of swollen books (00:08:05) -- Feeling childish - "It's just stuff" (00:09:55) -- Listening to the radio - running on a generator. Going to WalMart (00:11:26) -- The flood made them impulsive, trying to stay less stressed. Emotionally exhausting (00:13:45) -- Watching the local news, looking for their building (00:16:50) -- Let the local news look into their apartment, opening the refrigerator for them (00:18:50) -- Weren't expecting it - didn't know they were at risk. The week leading up to floods (00:22:45) -- Changes in their personalities and their cats. Being angry at each other instead of the flood (00:25:04) -- Sandbagging the day after the evacuation - reminded them that it was hopeless and chaotic (00:30:00) -- Katherine worked in the library, couldn't go back there either.

Finding others who are going through the same things (00:33:07) -- Remembering their old apartment (00:35:20) -- National news coverage leaving Iowa floods - Tim Russert's death took attention away (00:37:30) -- Thanking each other (00:38:30)

Interview with StoryCorps facilitator Anna Walters (25) of Denver, Colorado and Kelly Warren (22) of Clinton, Iowa.
Anna (age 25) interviews Kelly about her efforts preparing the University of Iowa campus for the Iowa River flood in 2008. Kelly worked for three days sandbagging in June until she was forced to leave the city.
Kelly graduated University of Iowa in May 2008. Became a Development Fellow at the University Foundation. Collects private donations for financial aid. Journalism and Sociology major, dedicated to the school. Personal pride (00:00:48) -- Working full-time in the summer. Starting to hear the news. Wanted to help immediately. Emailed President Mason asking for a call to help - the OK to leave her job and sandbag (00:03:53) -- People left work anyway to help on Tuesday. Wednesday the University let them go officially. Went to the Labs and the Union. Seeing coworkers in a different light (00:06:50) -- Tarping up the lab building. Could see the water rising on the river. Pieces of paper on buildings marking the potential water level way over her head (00:09:30) -- Shipping equipment out - researchers still trying to wrap up things. Urgency rising. Eight-hour sandbag shifts (00:11:40) -- Frustrated because Kelly didn't understand how sandbags and plastic would help. Out of the office three full days. Thought everything was safe (00:15:46) -- Watching how people interacted at the time. Working in the engineering lab basements (00:17:45) -- Lindquist Center - trying to save "the brain" - servers, computers. New things to save every hour, evolving priorities (00:21:05) -- Seeing the community come together. Students working alongside prisoners. Running out of sand, feeling helpless. People getting tired, getting sick of other people (00:22:42) -- Highways closed, people stuck in the city. Missed her father's birthday (00:29:40) -- Drove to Waterloo, Iowa to stay with her boyfriend. Didn't want to leave - felt ownership for Iowa City. Seeing photos of her walls failing, feeling disappointed. Nothing she could do (00:32:34) -- Pictures of water on campus, feeling helpless. Iowa Advanced Technology Laboratories was the most financially affected building. Personal connection to the building she worked on (00:38:14) -- Looking back: pride in the university community, ownership, sense of permanence. Wants to stay in Iowa City now more than ever (00:41:40)

African American Women in Iowa Collection
Description
An account of the resource
Historian Darlene Clark Hine said: "There is an urgent need to discover and collect more primary source materials pertaining to the lives and experiences of ordinary middle western Black women in both rural and urban communities." Although Hine and her colleagues centered their efforts on African-American women in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan -- states which traditionally have had more sizable black populations than Iowa -- the history of African-American women in this state is no less important. Indeed, Iowa's African women share a collective history that is both precious and powerful but all too seldom explored. --Kathryn M. Neal, from Giving Our History a Home: The African-American Women in Iowa Project.
