In this month's Voices from the Archive, we're listening to Libby Shelton Tipton, a hearing woman who grew up in a deaf household. She is bilingual, as she can communicate using English and American Sign Language. We'll learn about her experiences growing up, her family, and the importance of interpreters.
Voices from the Archive is a monthly segment of StoryTown Radio. It shares stories from people living here, just how they told them. You might think of it like a news report that tells you about all sorts of things. From ghost stories to apple butter, you could learn just about anything from the people living here in East Tennessee. Listen in as they tell the stories of their lives here in Appalachia.
StoryTown Radio is a production of the McKinney Center's Story Initiative. Grounded in the belief that stories connect people to each other, the Story Initiative sets out to collect, archive, and share the stories from the region. Broadcast from Jonesborough, Tennessee, the Storytelling Capital of the World, StoryTown Radio is one way these stories are shared with people, nearby and all around.
