Your Story, Our Story may ring a bell, as the project was briefly mentioned in the Wing Luke Museum feature in the 05-07-2021 Scout Report. The project, based at the Tenement Museum in New York City, is made possible through partnerships with national museums and organizations, including the Wing Luke Museum. The storytelling initiative uplifts "personal stories of American migration and cultural identity," from reflections on family heirlooms to memories of people and places. The Explore All Stories box at the bottom of the Home page offers two ways to explore stories: by location or by object. More specific filters (e.g., category, type, or tag) are also available under the Explore tab and a search bar at the top of the page allows users to look up items of interest. In addition to browsing existing content, visitors are encouraged to share their own family immigration or migration story (under Add Your Story). Educators will also find helpful information and guides to incorporate the project into middle, high school, and college curricula (under Resources).
