Many Voices, One Nation

One of nine organizations selected nationwide participate in this Smithsonian and Florida Humanities collaboration, The Allapattah Collaborative CDC developed Many Voices, One Nation by layering local oral histories, historical images, art, artifacts, and video clips from Allapattah onto a Smithsonian-curated national framework.

The exhibition explores how the many voices of people in America shaped communities across the nation, examining themes of expansion, freedom, inclusion, equality, migration, and cultural negotiation told through those who were here already, those who came by force, and those who came seeking new beginnings.
