The Great Thanksgiving Listen
WBHM is proud to partner with StoryCorps for the Great Thanksgiving Listen.
This Thanksgiving weekend, StoryCorps will work with teachers and high school students across the country to preserve the voices and stories of an entire generation of Americans over a single holiday weekend.
Open to everyone, The Great Thanksgiving Listen is a national assignment to engage people of all ages in the act of listening. This specific effort is designed for students ages 13 and over and as part of a social studies, history, civics, government, journalism, or political science class, or as an extracurricular activity. All that is needed to participate is a smartphone and the StoryCorps mobile app. Click for more details or visit The Great Thanksgiving Listen Facebook page.
