  • Story Corps’ mission is to help us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all — one story at a time. Find moving, extraordinary stories here or record your own extraordinary story here. Or, come closer to home and listen to this oral history project A People's History of Harlem. The project works to both preserve and document Harlem history through the stories of people who have experienced it.
