The Great Thanksgiving Listen
The
Great Thanksgiving Listen is a national movement that empowers young people—and
people of all ages—to create an oral history of the contemporary United States
by recording an interview with an elder using the free StoryCorps App.
Interviews
become part of the StoryCorps Archive at the American Folklife Center at the
Library of Congress. Since 2015, The Great Thanksgiving Listen has grown from
an experimental challenge issued by our founder, Dave Isay, into a vital
intergenerational movement. To date, thousands of high schools from all 50
states have participated and preserved more than 100,000 interviews, providing
families with a priceless piece of personal history.
It’s
the connections they’ll remember more than the centerpiece or the stuffing.
Download and print the official 2018 Great Thanksgiving Listen placemat, in
whatever quantity you need, and you’ll have a sampler platter of Great
Questions closer than the salt shaker. Use them as ice-breakers around the
table, then after the meal find a quiet place and record your interview with
the free StoryCorps App.
