I was at my sister’s piano recital. It was on December 7th, 1941.​

Dorothy: I was at my sister’s piano recital. It was on December 7th, 1941. And we had not heard it until we got there and everyone was talking about it, and let’s see - I would have been - 17. And I thought, 'OH! What is going on?' That’s where I was, at my sister’s piano recital. It was a Sunday.

Interviewer: Did it personally affect you?

Dorothy: Well, it did later. It did a full day later.

The Power to Transform

Stories have power. They delight, enchant, touch, teach, recall, inspire, motivate, and challenge. They help us understand. They imprint a picture on our minds. Our storytelling ability, a uniquely human trait, has been with us as long as we’ve been able to speak and listen. Not only do people love to tell stories, people love to hear stories!

That’s why we’ve partnered with Carrie Gallahan, founder of Saving Libraries. Carrie was inspired by this African proverb to start a movement to save the stories of our elders.
