The Autobiography series contains a personal statement written by Dominic Capeci in 2019. The autobiography describes Capeci's family and childhood, his education at the University of New Mexico and the University of California, Riverside, and his career as a scholar of African American History.
The Detroit Oral History Project series contains audio recordings of oral history interviews Capeci conducted as a part of his research on race riots and African American history in Detroit.
The series is divided into four sub-series by Capeci's projects: Detroit Riot of 1943, Detroit Riot of 1967, World War II Detroit Letters, and George and Peggy Edwards Interviews. Each sub-series includes a brief project summary and a list of participants, prepared by Capeci.
The Detroit Riot of 1943 sub-series contains audio clips from oral history interviews conducted with 24 individuals about the riots. The interviews discuss the respondent's personal background, their views of race relations in Detroit during the 1940s and their perspective on the riots.
