History Project, Storycorps, to Kick Off <BR>> Nationwide Tour from Library
of Congress on May 19<BR>> Collected Stories to Become Part of Collections of
American <BR>> Folklife Center<BR>> <BR>> The Library of Congress will
host the national launch of the <BR>> oral history project StoryCorps,
created by award-winning <BR>> National Public Radio documentary producer
Dave Isay, with a <BR>> news conference on May 19. <BR>> <BR>>
Two mobile recording booths in trailers will be stationed in <BR>> front of
the Library's James Madison Memorial Building at 101 <BR>> Independence Ave.
S.E., Washington, D.C., from May 19 to May 28, <BR>> as the first stop in
their one-year tour to collect stories of <BR>> ordinary Americans from
across the United States. Interviews <BR>> with Anthony Williams, mayor of
the District of Columbia; Chuck <BR>> Brown, the father of go-go music; Ben's
Chili Bowl owners; and <BR>> Sue Mingus, widow of composer and jazz bass
player Charles <BR>> Mingus are scheduled for Thursday, May 19, following the
news <BR>> conference. <BR>> <BR>> The oral histories that
StoryCorps collects will be given in <BR>> digital form to the American
Folklife Center at the Library of <BR>> Congress, which has a statutory
mandate to "preserve and present <BR>> American folklife." StoryCorps is the
first "born-digital" audio <BR>> collection for the center, the largest oral
narrative collection <BR>> in the nation. <BR>> <BR>> For
up-to-date information on scheduled interviews, go to the <BR>> center's Web
site at </FONT><A href="http://www.loc.gov/folklife/"><FONT
face=Arial>www.loc.gov/folklife/</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial>. <BR>>
<BR>> "StoryCorps will provide America with important social <BR>>
documentation on a grassroots, nationwide scale that mirrors <BR>> what the
historic Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal <BR>> Writers' Project
accomplished more than half a century ago," <BR>> said Peggy Bulger, director
of the American Folklife Center. <BR>> "Just as we have preserved and made
accessible the WPA <BR>> recordings, we are delighted to be partners with
StoryCorps and <BR>> to house a new generation of America's stories."
<BR>> <BR>> StoryCorps is a national initiative to instruct and inspire
<BR>> individuals to record oral histories and create meaningful <BR>>
personal experiences for the participants. With 2,000 stories <BR>> already
collected during the project's first 18 months through <BR>> its recording
booth at Grand Central Terminal in New York, <BR>> StoryCorps hopes to
collect more than 250,000 interviews over <BR>> the next 10 years. Traveling
to every corner of the United <BR>> States, the project will be documenting
everyday history and the <BR>> unique stories of grassroots America.
<BR>> <BR>> "Over the past year and a half, we've seen the profound effect
<BR>> StoryCorps has had on the lives of those who have participated <BR>>
in the project, and we've seen the power that these stories have <BR>> had on
the millions who have heard them," said Isay. "We believe <BR>> that
listening is an act of love. StoryCorps will engage <BR>> communities, teach
participants to become better listeners, <BR>> foster intergenerational
communication and help Americans <BR>> appreciate the strength in the stories
of everyday people they <BR>> find all around them." <BR>>
<BR>>>From Washington, the MobileBooths will set out in opposite <BR>>
directions across the country-one taking an Eastern route and <BR>> the other
covering the Western states. Visits in each city or <BR>> town will last
between two and three weeks, with about 100 <BR>> interview slots available
at each location. This inaugural tour <BR>> will last one year and stop at
nearly 45 cities. A list of the <BR>> 25 cities in 16 states that the
StoryCorps MobileBooths will <BR>> visit during the first six months of the
tour is appended to <BR>> this release.<BR>> <BR>> In each city where
the MobileBooths stop, StoryCorps will <BR>> partner with a local public
radio station, which will air a <BR>> selection of the local stories and
create additional programming <BR>> around the project. Selected segments
will also air nationally <BR>> on NPR's "Morning Edition."<BR>> <BR>>
At each MobileBooth, a trained facilitator will help create a <BR>> question
list and handle the technical aspects of the recording. <BR>> At the end of a
40-minute session, the participants leave with a <BR>> CD of their interview.
With their permission, a second copy will <BR>> be sent to the American
Folklife Center.<BR>> <BR>> The MobileBooths have been funded by National
Public Radio (NPR) <BR>> and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
(CPB).<BR>> <BR>> "We are delighted to be able to sponsor this amazing
project," <BR>> said Jay Kernis, NPR's senior vice president for programming.
<BR>> "StoryCorps makes the statement that the experiences of<BR>>
everyday people are as important as those of elected officials, <BR>> experts
and those who have achieved a degree of celebrity. <BR>> Listeners have been
moved by the honesty and depth of emotion of <BR>> the extraordinary stories
from the StoryCorps over the past 18 <BR>> months, and we expect that this
response will be even greater as <BR>> they hear stories from around the
country."<BR>> <BR>> "CPB and StoryCorps share the mission to inform,
enlighten and <BR>> enrich the public," said CPB President and CEO Kathleen
Cox. <BR>> "CPB is proud to support this creative and engaging project,
<BR>> which will capture stories that families will cherish for <BR>>
generations."<BR>> <BR>> StoryCorps opened its first StoryBooth, a
freestanding <BR>> soundproof recording studio, in New York City's Grand
Central <BR>> Terminal in October 2003. A second StoryBooth will open this
<BR>> March on the site of the World Trade Center. Over the course of
<BR>> the 10-year project, StoryCorps plans to open StoryBooths-both <BR>>
mobile and stationary-across the country. StoryCorps is a <BR>> project of
Sound Portraits Productions, a nonprofit public radio <BR>> documentary
production company founded by Isay.<BR>> <BR>> The American Folklife
Center was created by Congress in 1976 and <BR>> placed at the Library of
Congress to preserve and document <BR>> American folklife through programs of
research, documentation, <BR>> archival preservation, reference service, live
performance, <BR>> exhibition, public programs and training The center
incorporates <BR>> the Archive of Folk Culture, which was established in the
<BR>> Library in 1928 and is now one of the largest collections of <BR>>
ethnographic material from the United States and around the <BR>> world. The
Archive of Folk Culture will be the repository for <BR>> the StoryCorps
collection. More information can be found at <BR>> </FONT><A
