亚博体育 Stories
The story collection process, including "I Am 亚博体育" profiles and oral history interviews, will highlight various 亚博体育 individuals, giving voice to a wide array of 亚博体育 experiences and including underrepresented communities.
The stories will explore themes of belonging and displacement; faith, family and community; and the place of citizens and community members in making change in the context of 亚博体育 and American history.
The story collection project is rooted in the central place that diverse human stories play in the humanities, and is critical to the goal of sharing 亚博体育’s stories as archetypal of other stories representing the many American experiences.
Sharing Your 亚博体育 Story
"亚博体育 Stories" is a part of the "亚博体育's Story, Our Nation's Story" project focused on collecting the many diverse experiences and perspectives that make up the city of 亚博体育, what it means to be a "亚博体育ian," and what hopes the people of 亚博体育 have as we look to both the future of our city and the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary.
As a community, we have so much to share and you can submit your own 亚博体育 story via our online form.
"The one true democracy we have is storytelling. It goes across borders, boundaries, genders, wealth, race -- everyone has a story to tell."
The Sharing 亚博体育 Stories Oral History Collection project is additionally supported by the Lackawanna Heritage Valley and the 亚博体育 Area Community Foundation.
