This I Believe (Part 1)

Presented on July 20, 2010 from 11 am to 12 noon in the Library East CommonsRuntime: 09:46 minutesThis week’s Tech’s Open Forum is inspired by "This I Believe," an international project engaging people in writing and sharing essays describing the core values that guide their daily lives. This exercise is based on a 1950s radio program of the same name, hosted by journalist Edward R. Murrow. Each day, Americans gathered by their radios to hear compelling essays from the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Robinson, Helen Keller, and Harry Truman, as well as corporate leaders, cab drivers, scientists, and secretaries – anyone able to distill into a few minutes the guiding principles by which they lived.
