vicki pavia reached out and said that she wanted to visit hart island for the 40th anniversary of ther baby, denise. and so she was the first family member that i ever took to heart -- heart island in 1994. starting in 2009 working with volunteers, we created an online database of burials. and people were finding their relatives, they would send me stories, and i felt that these stories should really be available to other people. the traveling cloud museum is a social media platform that allows people to tell stories that they've carried around for a long time and not had an opportunity to tell before. when you go into the profile of that person, you are invited to add a story. and once you add a story, it essentially stops the clock of anonymity and pulls them back into the historic record. and so my effort with the hart island project is really to reconnect city cemetery with new york city through storytelling. my name is melinda hunt, and this is my brief but spectacular take on new york city's family tomb. john: you can watch more brief but spectacular videos online at pbs.org/new
