(WSAW-TV (digital channel 7) is a CBS affiliate television station licensed to Wausau, Wisconsin and serving central and north central Wisconsin, United States.)
Students in the oral history program in the D.C. Everest School District have published 20 books, and the 21st is a few months away from its print date.
Students are putting the final touches on "Wisconsin Women: Celebrating their Contributions". It's a project two and a half years in the making.
The junior and high school school students interviewed 100 women who have changed the culture of the state.
"Their stories haven't always been told or they've been kind of stifled by men. And it's important that they've overcome so much because they used to be. They're the mother, but now they're pushing through and accomplishing so much and contributing so much to society that it's just so inspirational of how much they've overcome," says Katie Cyr, who's working on the book.
The book is scheduled to be released this fall. You can find the story of Newschannel 7's Bao Vang in the book.

A Selection from the Memoirs of Haj Hossein Yekta
The scorching cold breeze of the midnight made its way under my wet clothes and I shivered. The artillery fire did not stop. Ali Donyadideh and Hassan Moghimi were in front. The rest were behind us. So ruthlessly that it was as if we were on our own soil. Before we had even settled in at the three-way intersection of the Faw-Basra-Umm al-Qasr road, an Iraqi jeep appeared in front of us.Boycotting within prison
Here I remember something that breaks the continuity, and I have to say it because I may forget it later. In Evin Prison, due to the special position that we and our brothers held and our belief in following the line of Marja’eiyat [sources of emulation] and the Imam, we had many differences with the Mujahedin.The credibility of the commanders
