Nominate history’s unsung champions
The American story is woven from the unique and varied narratives of our people – from all backgrounds, communities, regions, cultures, genders, abilities, and more. Let’s tell and celebrate these stories.
Our American Story is an oral and visual storytelling project aimed at collecting and preserving our nation’s stories. This is your opportunity to nominate a living person – a friend, family member, neighbor, or community leader – whose story you think needs to be shared and preserved.
It could be someone in your life whose story resonates with you or has inspired you, but maybe isn’t widely known. It could be someone who has made a difference in your community – famous or unknown.
Select stories from each region of the country will be recorded, shared for everyone to enjoy, and archived at the Library of Congress, to cultivate a permanent record of the collective American story.
Every story is one worth sharing. Nominate history’s unsung champions today.
