As it happens, the This Day team has a bunch of cool new projects coming out over the next week or two. So, we’re going to feature them here.

Today: Our very own Nicole Hemmer has been part of the years-in-the-making Obama Oral History Project, which talked to members of the administration and people affected by Obama’s policy about key moments in his presidency. Today, we talk about the project’s launch and the first batch of interviews about environmental policy within the administration.
