Radio: Neglected American Voices

"Established as a non-profit organization in 1994 by MacArthur Fellow David Isay, Sound Portraits Productions is an independent production company dedicated to telling stories that bring neglected American voices to a national audience," including the recollections of ex-slave Fountain Hughes, recorded in 1949 when he was 101; memoirs of people who worked on deathrow in Huntsville, Texas; tales from the Yiddish theater; and personal anecdotes recalling sightings of the Virgin Mary. <http://www.soundportraits.org/>
