Ordinary People Telling Their Stories to Each Other
We hear the voices of people, citizen and non-citizen, old
and young telling their stories to each other. A grandmother
tells her grandson about her own childhood. A young man proposes
to his girlfriend. A soldier talks about his experience in
war. A father remembers a loved one who passed away....All
of these are stories told by ordinary Americans. Now, thousands
of them are preserved forever - in sound.
Three years ago, award-winning radio producer Dave Isay created
a national social history project called StoryCorps.
It now has the potential to become one of the largest documentary
oral history projects ever donated to the Library of Congress.
