Our Streets, Our Stories

Description

Individuals can volunteer to be interviewed or suggest someone for a remote interview. Our Streets, Our Stories has an interest in capturing stories of healthcare and essential workers, teachers, students and parents, older adults, and persons who are incarcerated and their families. Brooklyn Public Library staff members then conduct the remote interviews. This project builds on the preexisting local oral history project Our Streets, Our Stories. The project has been shared broadly on social media and in local news. To contribute, you can email ososproject@bklynlibrary.org or call (917) 426-1271.
