Thanks StoryCorps Participants!

 

 

Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) thanks all who participated in this most worthwhile event.

 

It is important these extraordinary, hurricane-related survival accounts have been heard and documented for future generations.

 

This is real history.

 

Coastal residents came in pairs to interview each other regarding “anything they wanted to talk about” at the traveling recording studio stationed from December 1- 18 at Prime Outlets in Gulfport .

 

These interviews about “anything,” to nobody's surprise, documented personal stories of survival during and after Katrina. Not only did each participant receive a complimentary CD of the interview, it was archived in the Library of Congress.

 

MPB, with the financial support from the Foundation for Public Broadcasting in Mississippi, and The Sun Herald helped to bring StoryCorps to the Coast.

 

Portions of selected interviews were aired on two shows of MPB's Radio program “Beyond Katrina” during the StoryCorps visit.

 

Additional selections will air nationally on National Public Radio. Dates/times of airing are not available at this time.
