The Library of Congress launched an exhibit in Washington, D.C. on February 24, showcasing handwritten scrolls and letters sent by listeners to Radio Azadi, RFE/RL’s popular Afghan radio program. Librarian of Congress Dr. James Billington calls Voices from Afghanistan “a window through which can be seen the society, culture, and concerns of the Afghan people.” [Take an online, interactive tour of the letters] The multimedia exhibit also includes a of two Afghan boys who sent a 130-foot long letter to Radio Azadi from their small village outside of Kabul, as well as manuscripts, maps, photos, and music from the Library’s permanent collection of artifacts from Afghanistan.
