Live your freedoms
Learn MoreThe Mission of the
First Amendment Museum
is to inspire all Americans to live and love their First Amendment freedoms. The museum will promote the practice and understanding of the First Amendment to the US Constitution by developing a landmark museum with innovative exhibits and engaging programming. By creating a far-reaching partnership network and accessible and relevant online materials, we will inspire all Americans to experience the five freedoms in their own lives.
Stories Project
What does it mean to live your freedoms? That’s the question we hope to answer with our First Amendment Stories project. We have already recorded interviews with 30 everyday Americans, and we will ultimately collect and share 300 stories from people around the country about their personal experiences with our First Amendment freedoms. Everyone has a story about the powers and limits of freedom – what’s yours? Contact us today to share your story or host our traveling exhibit that features the stories we have collected so far.
