The Most Important Lesson

The folks that bring oral history to Morning Edition every Friday brought their Airstream trailer to Cleveland earlier this month. It's part of their latest cross-country journey capturing conversations of Americans. Some of the recordings do end up on NPR and now a few more will be heard on 90.3. Starting today we're launching our own regional version of StoryCorps. Kicking off this occasional segment is a conversation between a mother and daughter from Amherst, Ohio. Rita George says she was 12 when her mother taught her the most important lesson she's ever learned.
