Sally Lied documents her time as a VISTA in Newnan, Georgia in a verbal diary format. The recordings take place over her first week with the program. She discusses the goal of the work, the family she stayed with, their material conditions, other members of her VISTA group and her experience in sessions with them, as well as her day to day activities while a participant in VISTA (going to the movies, going out for dinner, taking the bus, etc.). The recording is segmented by the day that Lied recorded, then further segmented by the day that she is recalling, since often she would skip several days then catch up all at once. Additionally, any noteworthy moments were segmented by topic.
For a more thorough reflection and analysis of her time as a VISTA where she dissects racial tension and class issues, please review "Sally Lied - Experiences in Vista, March 4, 1969 (1:40:06)."
