The Launch of StoryCorps at Grand Central Terminal

In 2003, StoryCorps officially launched with a recording booth at Grand Central Terminal. The project aimed to celebrate the lives of ordinary, uncelebrated individuals who contributed to society. The booth provided a space for people to share their stories, whether it was a grandmother speaking about her grandchild or a neighbor conversing with another neighbor. The goal was to help individuals realize that their lives have meaning and to preserve these stories for future generations.
