"Scranton Stories" Interviews and Photographs Oct. 27

The premiere of "Scranton Stories" Oral History Interviews & Portrait Photographs with a panel discussion and exhibit opening will take place on Friday, Oct. 27, starting at 5 p m.

For the past two years, a community-wide project, Scranton’s Story, Our Nation’s Story, has explored themes of history, belonging and identity through a series of programs, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. These October events premiere the project’s final phase, an oral history initiative called “Scranton Stories.” The exhibit features portraits by photographer Byron Maldonado of each interviewee with personal statements and evocative interviews giving voice to an array of Scranton experiences and connecting them, and our city, to our nation's ongoing story.
