Today, we begin a weekly series of installments from Chicago’s Storycorps mobile booth.
The StoryCorps Griot Initiative aims to capture the oral history of everyday African Americans with an emphasis on the stories of World War Two veterans and men and women involved in the Civil Rights struggle.
And that’s where we begin today. Marcus Robinson is a photographer and minister at the Philadelphia Baptist Church on the south east side of Chicago.
A few weeks ago, he spoke with Storycorps facilitator Rose Gorman about his mother Ethel Robinson Lee.

The StoryCorps Griot Mobile Booth is located at the DuSable Museum of African American History until July 27.
Originally broadcast July 19, 2007
Release date: 7/20/2007
