Nebraska’s past is rich with untold stories of trials and triumphs that will interest us all.

Understanding where we’ve been sheds light on where we’re going.

Writing history is a search for the truth. Through engagement, Nebraskans can learn from our past — and shape a better future.

A society that does not allow a history and voice of a diverse and cultural community will not be able to experience a future of truth and reconciliation.

We have not told the truth about our past; it is time to do so.

After visiting a high school history class session, I understood why many of my Nebraska students know little about the history of race relations, indigenous history and racial minority experiences in their home state.. This project informs educators and students about the rich, diverse history of Nebraska.

Our knowledge of history will help us create a brighter future.

What should we know about our fellow Nebraskans beyond the superficial? How can greater understanding help us all thrive?

History must be told by all partakers in order to gain a broader understanding of each unique story. It is then that we can have greater insight, gratitude and empathy for one another.
