StoryCorps Shorts: Silvia's Legacy
Special | 2m 29sVideo has Closed Captions
A California teenager gets sent to Louisiana for a summer with her great-grandmother.
Ellaraino experienced a common teenage reaction when she learned she’d have to leave Los Angeles to spend the summer in Louisiana with her great-grandmother, Silvia. Less common was Ellaraino’s realization that Silvia had lived through the Civil War, and had a lot to teach her great-granddaughter about the true meaning of freedom.
