StoryCorps Atlanta Opportunity Coming Up!

As you may know: October is LGBT History Month and Atlanta Pride! As you make plans to attend Atlanta Pride this year, you may want to stay an extra day and make a reservation to share your story.

StoryCorps Atlanta is working with Georgia Equality and other local LGBTQ organizations to encourage everyone to come tell their stories. Participants have 40 minutes to record a conversation with a loved one. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the Library of Congress.

StoryCorps OutLoud is a project to record and preserve the voices of LGBTQ individuals across the nation. Sharing our stories honors the history, struggles and character of our community, and preserving them in the Library of Congress will ensure all voices and experiences are celebrated and remembered for generations to come.

Tell Your Story - Three Ways to Make an Appointment:

Call: 1-800-850-4406

Visit: www.wabe.org/storycorps

E-mail: atl+GeorgiaEquality@storycorps.org

Please include your name and phone number.

The StoryCorps website has information on What to Expect when you come to StoryCorps and a Question Generator to help you create a list of questions.

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.
