Opening Day in Savannah, Georgia
The arrival of StoryCorps in Savannah, Georgia was met with wonderful Southern kindness from our partner station, Georgia Public Radio. There were lots of balloons and a huge StoryCorps cake. Nancy Mercer Gerard and her husband Stephen Gerard were the first participants. Nancy is the niece of Johnny Mercer, a famous singer songwriter from Savannah.
The MobileBooth is located right nearby the Telfair Museum of Art in Telfair Square – one of 25 squares in the city. Everywhere you look there are green spaces with oak trees covered in Spanish moss. Plenty of opportunities to sit in the shade and have a good conversation…
