The Moth flutters into Grady High for story-telling project
Students at Grady High School will share personal stories of discrimination at an assembly Friday afternoon, as part of a story-telling project with The Moth.
For more than a year, the storytelling organization has been partnered with the USA Network to hold storytelling workshops in high schools around the country. Students receive in-depth training on the art of storytelling in order to develop a five-minute story about facing discrimination or bigotry and how the experience impacted their identity.
