The History Harvest was held at Love's Jazz and Art Center on October 22, 2011. A number of North Omaha institutions supported the program and helped publicize or otherwise contribute, including the Great Plains Black History Museum, Big Mama's Kitchen, and the Malcolm X Foundation.
The eight History Harvest students and Professor Patrick Jones were joined by a number of University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate students and faculty members. During the Harvest, students met the North Omahans, spoke with them about their items and their history, photographed the items, and recorded an oral history.
