The further expansion of the "Our Stories, Our Future" initiative. Activities include a grant program, book gorups, speaker presentation and promotional activities which encourage reflection on diverse stories that explore the way the American experience is appreciated in Pennsylvania.

The PHC will further expand Our Stories, Our Future as part of the We the People initiative. Our statewide programming will continue to encourage reflection on stories from American history that have importance for our lives today and are critical to our future as a people. Programming will be focused on grants and complemented by speaker presentations, book groups, and promotional activities. Approximately 80,000 will be reached throughout the state, doubling last year’s audience.
