VIDEOS: Story Corps 9.11 Animations + Studs Terkel

[Ryan Goble]

For those of you that don't know about Story Corps they are...

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.

They've taken some touching (and elegantly short) 9.11 oral histories and animated them...




As a bonus I've attached a non-9.11 Studs Terkel animation that is awesome...
