StoryCorps® Visit Downtown Knoxville

Date: 10/28/2010

StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen to our weekly broadcasts on NPR’s Morning Edition and on our Listen pages.

StoryCorps is partnering with WUOT to record, preserve, and share the stories of communities in Knoxville, TN from October 7 – November 13, 2010.  The StoryCorp booth is located on the south side of Market Square with convient parking in many of the meters or surrounding parking garages which are free after 6 pm and all day on weekends.
