StoryCorps Connect: Become a Part of History

Posted 5/5/2020

Stories Matter

StoryCorps reminds the nation that every story matters and every voice counts. Since 2003, StoryCorps has given a quarter of a million Americans the chance to record interviews about their lives, to pass wisdom from one generation to the next, and to leave a legacy for the future. It is the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. These powerful stories illustrate our shared humanity and show how much more we share in common than divides us. https://storycorps.org/discover/

Now, in partnership with LeadingAge, this first-of-its kind platform enables you to record a StoryCorps interview with a loved one remotely using video conference technology. The audio and a still photo from each interview goes into our archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Your interview becomes part of American history, and hundreds of years from now, future generations will listen in. https://storycorps.org/  Check out stories here – https://storycorps.org/stories/

Their latest effort, One Small Step, connects people so they can remember that people with whom they disagree are human beings. In doing this, we can begin to mend the fraying fabric of our nation – one conversation at a time. https://storycorps.org/discover/onesmallstep/
