With a laser-like focus on the ethos and core values of StoryCorps, we have built an organizational culture that is fueled by excellence, integrity and a fierce commitment to public service. Every day the interviews we record help people—especially those who feel most invisible in our society—understand how much their own lives matter, and every week our broadcasts, celebrating the stories of everyday people, remind listeners that “this is what’s important!” We have been and always will be guided by a simple truth: that every life and every story matter equally and infinitely. As you will see, hear, and read in our latest Annual Report, 2013 was a milestone year for StoryCorps. We celebrated our 10-year anniversary, using the opportunity to reflect on our evolution and rapid growth. How have we served the nation in the past 10 years? Here are a few highlights: • We collected and archived more than 50,000 interviews with some 90,000 participants across America. Ours is the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. • We opened StoryBooths in Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, and New York and launched MobileBooths that have visited hundreds of towns and cities across America. • We broadcast 500+ segments on NPR’s Morning Edition, heard by millions across the country every Friday. • We published a series of New York Times best-selling books and produced award-winning animations. Dave Isay, Founder & President Here are some highlights from 2013: • We put on our first annual gala—a resounding success. • We completed the first full year of our Military Voices Initiative. This collection will serve as a definitive record of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan through the eyes of those who experienced them. • We continued to grow StoryCorps Legacy, an initiative that delivers the StoryCorps recording experience to those facing a life- threatening illness. • We laid the groundwork for our OutLoud Initiative. This multi-year program will record, preserve, and share the stories of LGBT people across the United States. • We increased the number of students participating in StoryCorpsU, our yearlong curriculum for high-needs schools. In 2014, StoryCorps will continue to expand and improve upon the unique and extraordinary service we deliver to the country. In the decade to come, we will redouble our efforts to help foster a nation that fully recognizes, respects, and nurtures the dignity of humanity. We are deeply honored by your belief in StoryCorps and express our profound appreciation for your support. Robin Sparkman, CEO Dave Isay, Founder & President Robin Sparkman, CEO 3 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR The year 2013, marking our 10th anniversary, was not just a milestone of our past accomplishments, but a guidepost for our future—the year when it really became clear that what started as Dave Isay’s dream in a cramped walk-up office in Chinatown was well on its way to becoming an enduring national institution: • We were recognized with the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions—$1 million to strengthen our institutional capacity and financial stability. • We held our first-ever gala—a 10th anniversary celebration—honoring longtime supporters Stanley Shuman and Jack Rosenthal, emceed by Stephen Colbert, and featuring a number of those who’ve told their stories to us over the past decade. That raised a million dollars, too! We also expanded our membership program and broadened our donor base. “It’s not just a tattoo.” • We launched our first StoryBooth in Chicago—fittingly, the home of the late Studs Terkel, an inspiration for StoryCorps, who christened our very first booth in Grand Central Terminal in 2003. We now have StoryBooths in four cities, including New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco. • Our fourth collection of stories, Ties That Bind: Stories of Love and Gratitude from the First Ten Years of StoryCorps, was released, and our first half-hour animated special premiered on the PBS series POV. All these things, and what lies on the horizon for 2014, like the launch of our OutLoud LGBTQ initiative, happen not just because people love StoryCorps, which so many millions do, but because farsighted individuals and institutions recognize that this great American institution—at once as intimate as a talk with your grandmother and as ambitious as an archive of the nation’s voices, from 9/11 to the civil rights movement to Katrina and Sandy Hook—cannot play the role it must play “It was very easy to be patient with him.” without financial support. Talk of the kind that StoryCorps fosters is beautiful, but it is not cheap. Providing our services at no charge to all who have a story to tell is only possible through the generosity of supporters like you. So please accept my thanks, on behalf of our board and staff, and please be as generous as you can with additional support.

  • Cokie Roberts Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Cokie Roberts Congressional Correspondent and Daughter of Representatives Hale and Lindy Boggs of Louisiana Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript May 25, 2017 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “And so she [Lindy Boggs] was on the Banking Committee. They were marking up or writing a piece of legislation to end discrimination in lending. And the language said, ‘on the basis of race, national origin, or creed’—something like that. And as she told the story, she went into the back room and wrote in, in longhand, ‘or sex or marital status,’ and Xeroxed it, and brought it back into the committee, and said, ‘I’m sure this was just an omission on the part of my colleagues who are so distinguished.’ That’s how we got equal credit, ladies.” Cokie Roberts May 25, 2017 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 29 Abstract On May 25, 2017, the Office of the House Historian participated in a live oral history event, “An Afternoon with Cokie Roberts,” hosted by the Capitol Visitor Center. Much of the interview focused on Cokie Roberts’ reflections of her mother Lindy Boggs whose half-century association with the House spanned her time as the spouse of Representative Hale Boggs and later as a Member of Congress for 18 years. Roberts discusses the successful partnership of her parents during Hale Boggs’ 14 terms in the House. She describes the significant role Lindy Boggs played in the daily operation of her husband’s congressional office as a political confidante and expert campaigner—a function that continued to grow and led to her overseeing much of the Louisiana district work when Hale Boggs won a spot in the Democratic House Leadership.

  • Nina Totenberg
    When it Mattered Episode 8: Nina Totenberg Chitra Ragavan: Hello, and welcome to When It Mattered. I'm Chitra Ragavan. On this episode, we will be talking to Nina Totenberg, National Public Radio's award-winning legal affairs correspondent. Totenberg's coverage of the Supreme Court and legal affairs have won her widespread recognition and acclaim and earned many awards. She's often featured in Supreme Court documentaries, most recently in RBG. As Newsweek put it, quote, "The mainstays of NPR are Morning Edition and All Things Considered. But the créme del la créme is Nina Totenberg." Nina, welcome to the podcast. Nina Totenberg: It's my pleasure, Chitra. Chitra Ragavan: What was your path to becoming a reporter? Nina Totenberg: Well, when I was a girl, really a girl girl, I was a great fan of Nancy Drew, and Nancy could do everything. And, of course, she had no mother. Her mother was dead, so she didn't even have to compete for her father's affections. And she had a boyfriend, Ned, and a roadster, and she solved all kinds of mysteries and could do a jackknife dive. And I wanted to be Nancy Drew, and I thought the mystery part was something that I could do. And so I think that that made me, at first, interested in journalism. Nina Totenberg: And then later, when I was teenager, I read Theodore White's, The Making of a President, 1960, and I thought, "That's really what I want to do. I want to be ... " The elegant way of saying it is, "A witness to history." The inelegant way of saying it is, "I want to be a gossip," in the most regal sense.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

    WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN WATCHES WHO I see powerful echoes of what I personally experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the courses of action it suggests while still in government. —General Michael V. Hayden (retired) Former Director of the CIA Director of the NSA e problem of secrecy is double edged and places key institutions and values of our democracy into collision. On the one hand, our country operates under a broad consensus that secrecy is antithetical to democratic rule and can encourage a variety of political deformations. But the obvious pitfalls are not the end of the story. A long list of abuses notwithstanding, secrecy, like openness, remains an essential prerequisite of self-governance. Ross’s study is a welcome and timely addition to the small body of literature examining this important subject. —Gabriel Schoenfeld Senior Fellow, Hudson Institute Author of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law (W.W.

In his book, Mr. Ross does an excellent job identifying the categories of harm to the intelligence community associated NI PRESS ROSS GARY with these disclosures. A detailed framework for addressing the issue is also proposed. This book is a must read for those concerned about the implications of unauthorized disclosures to U.S. national security. —William A.
