EXTRA: The Men of Montford Point
In 1942, the U.S. allowed Black men to enlist in the Marine Corps for the first time. It was during World War II, and resulted in more than 19,000 Black recruits being sent to Montford Point, North Carolina for basic training. Many of those men are no longer with us, but their voices can be heard in the StoryCorps archive.
These stories are part of our Military Voices Initiative.

StoryCorps Then and Now: Family Pride
StoryCorps' initiatives have long helped us gather voices that are usually omitted from the historical record, like our LGBTQ+ Outloud initiative. In our continuing celebration of twenty years of StoryCorps, we're sharing some of our favorite recordings from that collection... and how a story close to our founder Dave Isay's heart helped lead to its creation.

Great Storytelling
Fantastic podcast. I particularly enjoyed the Little Piece of Mommy on earth, what a beautiful family.
Food for the soul
If you need some reassurance that there are many good, kind people in the world then here it is. Some stories are sad and it helps put the world into perspective. Take a little time to hear these stories.
Being awesome humans
