StoryCorps has dedicated MobileBooth East to a champion of oral history (and our hero): Studs Terkel. In 2005, when this MobileBooth was in Chicago, IL, 94 year old Studs came inside and recorded his story. We are proud to have a beautiful new plaque on the wall of the MobileBooth to commemorate his great work.
