City of Characters

New York City is home to a diverse and rich population.  Each person has his own story.  The New York Times is chronicling some of these stories through a series of narrated slide shows.  It's worth the few minutes a week to learn a little about a person you'll never meet and maybe understand where someone else is coming from.  Take a look at One in 8 Million.  You may come away with a new perspective on things.
