My Account of It brings untold stories to life. Listen along as the voices of today read accounts from those who lived before us.

We find first-person accounts of history in archival documents; get someone to read that account; and discuss the account on our show. This is an opportunity to present the successes and struggles of ordinary people, slaves, heroines, and leaders who contributed to growth as a society.

MAOI tell us how the past and the present are intertwined—sometimes moving us forward in our thoughts and deeds and in some instances holding us captive in time. Listen. It won't take too much time, we promise.
