The Commercial-News of Danville, IL posted an interesting article "DACC records stories of its history on video," on an initiative at Danville Area Community College to preserve the memories of community members who played a significant role in the college’s history.
Video interviews were edited to create the DACC Legends series, offering an opportunity for the entire community, DACC alums, and retirees to enjoy the history of the college and the area.
Several videos are available either by searching with a web search engine using, “DACC Legends YouTube” or via the college website at https://www.dacc.edu/legends.
DACC initially opened as an extension center of the University of Illinois with classes in the high school. When the center closed in 1949, courses continued with support of the public school system. The junior college separated and was reorganized as Danville Junior College in 1966. The name then changed to Danville Area Community College in 1979.
