Apply the Voice-Audit Wheel - ask 'whose voice is missing?' of a local source

Apply the 8-segment Voice-Audit Wheel (MG-9) to one real local plaque, monument, or landmark. Identify which voices (WOMEN / CHILDREN / INDIGENOUS / BLACK / IMMIGRANT / WORKING-CLASS / DISABLED / RELIGIOUS-MINORITY) are centered, mentioned, or missing in the source. Write a 3-4 sentence Voice-Audit Reflection.

Successors
Common misconceptions
  • Treating Voice-Audit as a 'gotcha' against the past (it is a discipline of careful noticing, NOT blame)
  • Stopping at 'centered' without asking 'missing' (the missing voices are the historian's most important question)
  • Treating one Voice-Audit as final (every source merits its own audit)
