The StoryCorps Griot Initiative
Thursday, June 21, 2007 - Friday, July 27, 2007 @ Reservations are Now Available
Have you ever wanted to capture the story of your grandmother's life, discover your best friend's favorite memory, or hear how your neighbor came to live in Chicago? StoryCorps provides the opportunity to interview and record your friends and loved ones. StoryCorps was established to create an oral history of everyday Americans to preserve personal stories for future generations of their own families, as well as the rest of the nation.
StoryCorps Griot is a one-year initiative, funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, to collect interviews from at least 1,750 African Americans. Now through February 28, 2008, the StoryCorps Griot Initiative will travel to locations across the nation, partnering with radio stations, historically black colleges and universities, and other cultural institutions and membership organizations, to record and distribute the stories of 1,750 African Americans. The StoryCorps Griot Initiative will place a special emphasis on the stories of World War II veterans and men and women involved in the Civil Rights struggle.
StoryCorps Griot will be in Chicago June 21—July 27, 2007.
