Thinking about our roots

The weather seems to have gone from summer to fall almost overnight, as we transitioned over one long weekend from August to September. After a hiatus over a busy summer, writer Jim Bosman shares some of his family history in a story for our Updates newsletter about some of the risks and hardships his immigrant ancestors faced in coming to this land. 

We've been helping to plan a free, nonpartisan American Stories project to run around the clock over 25+ hours from November 7 to November 8, which has us all thinking a lot about our roots. Save the dates and plan to come, and consider telling your own story. For more details, use the link below to visit the Our Roots, Our Voices website.
