Another special StoryCorps initiative focuses on African-American history and is called StoryCorps Griot after a West African tradition of storytelling.

故事团另外一个特别项目以非洲裔美国人的历史为主题，按照西非讲故事的传统称之为格里奥故事团(StoryCorps Griot)。

The griot is someone who acts as a living repository of births, deaths, marriages and significant events, transmitting oral history through the generations.

格里奥的角色是历史记录者，对孩子出生、婚丧喜庆等重大事件一一记录，并以口述方式传给后代。
