Story Corps - National Day of Listening Nov 27

Story Corps http://www.storycorps.org/ states its purpose "Our mission is to honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening. Since 2003, over 45,000 everyday people have shared life stories with family and friends in our StoryBooths. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind." Some of its stories from Texas are online in their  blog "StoryCorps Facilitator Weblog," http://www.storycorps.org/blog/  .  Listen to some Texas entries:   A picture show: the West Texas frontier, posted on May 1, 2008, from Abilene, Texas Southern sisters from Brazil, posted on April 18, 2008, from San Antonio, Texas Women leading Texas, posted on March 26, 2008, from San Antonio, Texas A Walk in the Clouds, posted on February 28, 2008, from San Antonio, Texas From the open road, posted on February 10, 2008, from San Antonio, Texas The Shiloh Community: A Landmark School and a Deadly Study, posted on January 27, 2008, from Tuskegee, Alabama Austin, TX, posted on October 15, 2007, from Fort Worth, Texas
