Music fans relax during a break in the entertainment at the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, Aug. 16, 1969, in Bethel, N.Y. An estimated 450,000 people attended the Woodstock festival in August 1969, and most of that crowd was composed of teenagers or young adults now in the twilight of their lives. That ticking clock is why the Museum at Bethel Woods, based at the site of the festival, is immersed in a five-year project traveling around the United States recording the oral histories of people were there, preserving the Woodstock memories before they fade away.

The Rev. Dale Snyder sits in the pews at Bethel AME Church where he is pastor, in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Bethel, considered Pittsburgh's oldest Black congregation, lost its previous sanctuary when much of Pittsburgh's historic Lower Hill District was razed in the 1950s, making way for an arena and expressway in an urban renewal project. More than 60 years later, in what's being called a step toward "restorative justice," the church is poised to obtain use of a 1.5-acre parcel near its former site in an agreement with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
