Mobile recording studio rolls into North Philadelphia to record conversations about Black joy

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Their goal is to capture conversations about Black joy and change the narrative for a community often stigmatized.

StoryCorps' mobile recording studio parked their airstream trailer in North Philadelphia, hoping to drive a new narrative that celebrates the heart of the people that live there.

The trailer visits about ten cities a year and will be in North Philadelphia for the rest of the month before moving to their next stop in Huntington, West Virginia.

Action News reporter Christie Ileto has the full story in the player above.
