From the
Disability Visibility Project:
To mark the upcoming 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, StoryCorps in San Francisco
is reserving a number of sessions from July 2014 – December 2014 for
members of the disability community to record their stories.
How It Works
- Two people who know each other come to one of 3 stationary booths, located in San Francisco, Atlanta and Chicago,
to record a meaningful conversation with each other, in any format and
language that they choose. For the Disability Visibility Project, feel
free to share your stories about the disability experience. What was
life like before and after the ADA? How did it impact your life? What do
you see in the future for people with disabilities? For more
information on StoryCorps, visit http://storycorps.org/about/
- After a 40-minute recording session, each participant pair goes home
with a broadcast quality CD of the conversation that just took place
and, with their permission, a copy of the conversation also gets
archived in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. For
more on what to expect: http://storycorps.org/what-to-expect/
- All reservations at the booth are free, although a donation is always appreciated.
- Depending on community response, more sessions will be added in 2015 for the SF Bay Area disability community.
