StoryCorps Cleveland: Leroy Brown

As part of their latest cross-country journey to capture the voices of Americans, StoryCorps spent much of August collecting the oral histories of residents of Northeast Ohio. Some of the stories they gathered will eventually be heard on NPR, and others will be heard from time to time here on 90.3. This morning we'll hear Leroy Brown, a Deacon at Antioch Baptist Church, in conversation with Reverend Marvin McMickle as he describes some of his experiences as an African-American Steward on a Navy ship during World War II.
