StoryCorps Mobile Tour

I had the wonderful opportunity this week to participate in StoryCorps, a national oral history recording project. The project has set up StoryBooths in NYC and is also traveling across the country in MobileBooths, to record stories of everyday people who interview one another. The stories are then preserved on disk at the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress and also broadcast on NPR stations. One of the MobileBooths is spending a time here in Richmond, VA, where I was able to secure a one hour slot, which I used to interview my mother about her father.
