What is your experience living in America right now?
Our partners at PBS American Portrait are creating a real-time, multimedia, self-made portrait of America. This month, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, American Portrait is looking for short videos and photos about the experience of Latinx people in America. And, ahead of Election Day, the project is collecting and sharing submissions about what voting means to you. Explore the American Portrait website, and click “Share a Story” to add your voice to this historic project.

- Visit PBS American Portrait.
- Choose one of the 16 prompts on the website. Suggested prompt: “At this point in my life…” or “My American Dream…”
