Description:

"Kay Wang was a strong-willed grandmother who was reluctantly taken to a StoryCorps booth by her son and granddaughter. Though Kay resisted, she still had stories to tell—from disobeying her mother and rebuffing suitors while growing up in China to late-life adventures as a detective for Bloomingdale’s department store. Kay passed away just weeks after that interview, and her son and granddaughter returned to StoryCorps to remember her gentler side, which she kept to herself."

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 05:50:00 -0700 StoryCorps Griot project records oral histories of LA’s African American community | 89.3 KPCC http://1001tales.posterous.com/storycorps-griot-project-records-oral-histori http://1001tales.posterous.com/storycorps-griot-project-records-oral-histori

From the site:

"The documentary project StoryCorps allows people to share significant moments in their lives in a conversation that’s recorded for posterity. The StoryCorps crew is in Los Angeles for the next month to record African American oral histories for a national archive. KPCC’s Shirley Jahad has this story from Thursday's opening outside the California African American History Museum in LA’s Exposition Park.

***
Inside the StoryCorps mobile recording studio, something happens that is both ordinary and profound.

“Our mission is to record, preserve and share the stories of every day Americans," says StoryCorps’ Marquita James.

Participants sit inside and engage in conversation with a loved one. They often come out having discovered something they never knew before.

“It’s really simple. We want to encourage people to talk to each other on a deeper level," says James. "We hope if we have enough of these conversations and if we travel enough of the country we will begin to in some small way transform the way that Americans relate to each other...."
