This Friday, take the time to tell your loved ones that their lives matter and they will not be forgotten. Every life matters and every voice counts!
National Day of Listening is November 26, 2010. Celebrate by recording an interview with a loved one.
The National Day of Listening is a new national holiday started by StoryCorps in 2008. On the day after Thanksgiving, StoryCorps asks all Americans to take an hour to record an interview with a loved one, using recording equipment that is readily available in most homes, such as computers, iPhones, and tape recorders, along with StoryCorps’ free Do-It-Yourself Instruction Guide.
The mission of StoryCorps is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives.
