A Time Capsule of American Voices & Stories

Through Connect250, StoryCorps and NPR’s Morning Edition are bringing strangers together for 40-minute video conversations about their lives to mark the 250th anniversary of our nation. These conversations will go to the Library of Congress, to become part of American history.

Together our voices will create a time capsule of who we are at this milestone moment in American history.

#StoryCorps founder Dave Isay has set out to capture the national mood with #Connect250 an oral history project matching strangers across the United States to interview each other about their lives, families and formative experiences. The series is produced in partnership with NPR’s Morning Edition, with the conversations to be preserved in the Library of Congress.

One of the many tragedies of NPR losing funding is the affect it may have on StoryCorps. I don't get emotional very often, but a random StoryCorp video and I'm welling up.

Don't watch this if you're not prepared to feel something.

Just saw this on #PBS #WeekendNewsHour​. Not only is it a wonderful story; the illustrations/animation are perfect. And yeah, pretty amazing for the '50s.

If there's interest, I've written a longer version of our story on my blog. And he and I interviewed each other and recorded it with #StoryCorps almost 20 years ago.

So. Here's a thing that happened. Again. 😅

This was condensed from two hours of audio recordings, the first between me and Les and the second between Les and the kids. This version of the audio was released in 2014 originally and the animation was done last year.
