Studio One features oral history, Vin Baker's return to NBA


History books are not the only way to discover the past. Major historical events are becoming known more than ever through story-telling or oral history. History professor Kim Porter will discuss the contributions oral history has made to the cultures and experiences of society on the next edition of Studio One.

Also on the show this week, hear how one basketball player overcame personal problems to play in the NBA once again. Former NBA all-star Vin Baker nearly had his career cut short because of weight issues and alcohol abuse. Watch how Baker's return to the game has made him a team leader.
