Veterans' Voices: Untold Stories
Veterans' Voices: The Untold Stories: Ampers will produce a total of thirty (30) 2-minute segments featuring Minnesota's Veterans with an emphasis on Veterans from BIPOC communities and stories, that until now, have largely gone untold. In addition, the funds will be used to produce a total of five to six (5-6) podcasts to be used in Minnesota classrooms and for Minnesotans to listen to on-demand. The longer segments will range in length from approximately fifteen-to-thirty-minutes. Ampers will also put the thirty (30) two-minute segments onto CDs and flash drives to be given away at the Minnesota State Fair, events throughout the state, and to teachers around the state.

More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities and incomes will have access to Minnesota history than would if this project was not funded.
The project will produce content that history teachers can use in Minnesota classrooms
The project will result in more locally and Minnesota-focused content produced by public radio than would exist without these segments.
