Hear from Authors:

"One day, everyone in Louisville is going to say, 'I've touched something that the Louisville Story Program produced.'"
-- Ravon Churchill, LSP Author, I Said Bang!: A History of the Dirt Bowl

"Each chapter is different, each writer is different, and each experience is special. And I think it will help you become more intellectually curious. You read this and you want to know more. I think you'll start to see that we are all more alike than different."
-- Carrye Jones, LSP Author, If You Write Me a Letter, Send It Here: Voices of Russell In a Time of Change

Hear from Supporters:

"The Louisville Story Program is challenging the arena of what a book is and what a book can do and where books matter in our communities."
- Nikky Finney, 2011 National Book Award winner

“Because of LSP, we now have insight into some of Louisville's most valuable communities and institutions from Shawnee to Russell, from the Dirt Bowl to the Backside of Churchill Downs. These stories add layers to our already rich history - they give us a full and honest view of our city. Our city now has a network of up and coming storytellers who are not afraid of telling their truth. We are a better city because of LSP!”
- Anthony Smith, Cities United, Executive Director

"The LSP is an integral player in reflecting Louisville's unique history, legacy and impact back to Louisvillians. My sense of pride and appreciation for our community grows exponentially with each and every publication."
- Jeana Dunlap, META Agency, Founder and Harvard University Loeb Fellow
