American Creed Collection @ PBSLearningMedia

Explore foundational ideals like freedom, fairness and opportunity in a mosaic of American stories. This multiformat documentary project centers on the stories of people working to realize their visions of America’s promise in their local communities. Scholars of American democracy David M. Kennedy and Condoleezza Rice contextualize these stories, illuminating shared values along with differences in outlook and approach. Students learn from this dialogue. Then, students develop their own media projects contributing, community by community, to a national dialogue about America’s identity.
