What comes to mind when you think of Missouri? What has living here meant in your life? What do you hope for future Missourians? These are some of the prompts that a team of Missouri School of Journalism students will be asking Missourians at several festivals and events this summer as the state commemorates 200 years of statehood.
Missouri on Mic is seeking any Missourians who are interested in the opportunity to record brief stories, anecdotes and responses to provided prompts surrounding their experiences as Missouri citizens.
Missouri on Mic is a collaboration of the State Historical Society of Missouri, KBIA and Ragtag Film Society in Columbia. It will make its debut at the True False Film Fest in May. Missouri residents who are interested in having their thoughts and stories on Missouri recorded for the project can visit the audio booth at the island shelter at Stephens Lake Park from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 8, and 12:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 9.
