Al Gore's daughter wrote an article about the archives of the descendants and former slaves recordings done in the 1930' and 40.s as part of the WPA. The project was done to capture the stories and voices. This article is wonderful and the recordings are worth listening to. In that vein I recall hearing about the Native American Language Project. This is a project to capture the dying languages of Native cultures and record language so descendants can learn their native tongues.

Go to the link to read Karren Gore Schiffs story regarding the saving of African American voices and stories of slavery. Also to follow up finding the voices of Native American language project is fascinating.
