Archive: USA250-OC shared this program with Orange County organizations in the lead-up to July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The dates and deadlines below have passed.
This is a year-long cross-country journey, collecting thousands of recorded interviews. Each tour stop will feature local activation events, media opportunities and community engagement activities. Facilitated by trained interviewers, sessions will follow curated story-telling prompts centered around themes of identity, service, community and personal legacy. Conversations will be recorded and archived, and a portion will be preserved at the Library of Congress.
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. https://america250.org/our-american-story/
