American Stories is a bold, ambitious, big-hearted project that seeks to reaffirm our shared American identity in this polarized moment.

This national, non-partisan, nonprofit initiative will welcome all Americans to tell their stories—starting with that simple, powerful question of how their families  became  American in their own words.

By crowdsourcing history from families across the country, we will create an enduring digital archive that captures the diversity, beauty, and commonality of our American experiences, ensuring that our true, collective history is preserved for generations to come.

We need your support. Help make this dream of American Stories a reality to inspire our collective future.
