StoryCorps Day of Listening
This Thanksgiving, participate in the StoryCorps in your own home.
Public Radio Tulsa joins with StoryCorps, the national oral history project, to launch the first annual National Day of Listening on November 28, 2008 in the Tulsa area.
On Thanksgiving, Americans and their loved ones gather to share a meal, express their gratitude and reminisce. On the day after, this November 28, StoryCorps is asking Americans to linger a little longer in the Thanksgiving spirit and honor a loved one by conducting an interview about his or her life.
It takes only an hour to participate, using recording equipment readily available in most homes - from video cameras to tape recorders to computers or even pen and paper.
“Looking a loved one in the eyes and asking about his or her life is one of the greatest gifts we can give one another,” says StoryCorps founder and MacArthur “genius” Dave Isay. “The simple act of listening tells them how much they matter, and documenting that conversation for posterity tells them that they won’t be forgotten.”
Take time this Thanksgiving to record a conversation with a grandparent, an aunt, a neighbor, a soldier or a client at a local soup kitchen. Storycorps has created a simple tool kit of easy-to-use instructions, pointers, and sample questions at www.nationaldayoflistening.org.
