Richard Eller and students at Catawba Valley Community College are Researching the Miracle which includes producing a video about Hickory's 1944 polio epidemic and the emergency hospital.
This week, I met with Richard to reflect on the writing of Blue and what I found compelling in this momentous event in our town's history.

Richard, who believes that "history is best when you walk in its footsteps" has led students in multiple HANDS ON HISTORY projects, such as The Selma Experience below.
Best class ever! Yay!
As it turns out, Richard is also editing a book which will examine our polio epidemic and the community's response to it from a variety of perspectives. I can't wait to read it!
what a great opportunity for you and BLUE! Glad more people are finding out about this wonderful book!
