Every year the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress selects 25 recordings to be preserved for all time. We highlight four of this year’s selections in our series “The Sounds of American Culture,” produced by Ben Manilla and Devon Strolovitch for Media Mechanics.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
