This project is part of Stories for All: A Digital Storytelling Project for the Twenty-First Century, which brings together more than 40 Kansas-based partner projects dedicated to gathering marginalized and suppressed histories, interconnecting them, and sharing them widely through digital media.

Stories for All is a partnership between the Hall Center for the Humanities and the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Kansas, and is supported by a major grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
