StoryCorps Revisited: Hear The Stories For The First Time!

On November 1-4 StoryCorps was at the Geneva History Center collecting 24 interviews of everyday Genevans as part of Geneva’s 175th anniversary.  StoryCorps has come and gone, but now it’s time to hear the stories!  Join us for the Brown Bag program StoryCorps Revisited on Tuesday, February 8, at noon to hear what it was like to grow up and play along the Fox River. Participants will have an opportunity to share their stories.

You’ll also get a chance to preview the StoryCorps audio clips that have been featured on the Geneva History Center YouTube channel. You’ll  hear the clip of a Geneva resident who met Martin Luther King, Jr., during the civil rights movement. If you can’t make it to the Brown Bag, don’t miss the StoryCorps exhibition Every Story Counts which opens on February 12.

This lecture is part of the Geneva History Center’s Brown Bag lecture series.  Attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch.  Cookies and coffee are provided.  Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for Geneva History Center members and students.  The Geneva History Center is located at 113 South Third Street, in the heart of Geneva’s downtown historic district.  For more information, call the Geneva History Center at 630-232-4951.
