## Resource

StoryCorps rolled into Birmingham, Alabama, with a mission to amplify Black voices through its Brightness in Black initiative, recording 40 powerful stories in just two weeks—culminating in a moving Community Playback event at the historic Carver Theatre where stories of love, family, and excellence were shared, featuring even American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, all to remind us that connection, not screens, builds real community.
