PARTNERSHIP WITH STORYCORP
For Juneteenth 2024, the NAACP Pittsburgh Branch partnered with StoryCorps to initiate a series of conversations featuring members of the NAACP Pittsburgh Branch. These discussions covered a wide array of topics including advocacy, life experiences, shared challenges, civil rights, and numerous other issues. Many of these profound conversations have been archived with StoryCorps, with select recordings also housed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. We invite you to explore some of these compelling conversations below.
