Description

FREE SCREENING. Everyone, regardless of their background, has a story worth sharing. But as community elders pass away, their individual experiences and perspectives pass with them. The goal of The Legacies Project is to preserve older generations’ stories and, in the process, remind ourselves that our seniors are cherished sources of cultural wisdom and first-hand witnesses to history. Through a constantly-expanding, publicly-accessible online video archive, The Legacies Project provides an engaging way to teach and learn history. Stories are recorded, students find new mentors and friends, relatives see new sides of their family members, communities grow closer together, and public screenings cap off the experience around the Project's essential core: the sharing of stories.
