Longtime residents of the city of New Kensington shared their recollections of a half-century ago for a Penn State New Kensington project on the history of the area. Developed by a partnership between the campus' communications program and the Northern Westmoreland Foundation, the "New Kensington Is" video is a collection of interviews with older residents of the city and the surrounding areas, emphasizing the stories of the mid-century generations. The oral history of residents who worked for Alcoa in the 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s illuminates the rich cultural and social history of the American community. Allen Larson, assistant professor of communications, and Abhinav Aima, instructor in communications, headed the project. Jessalyn Oliver, a 2008 Communications graduate, served as assistant producer.
