The United States today is more divided than at any time since the 1860s. The deep divisions in our country are fundamentally about our history. Community building thus must start with our history. Own Your History® (OYH) seeks to initiate grass roots change by  helping diverse groups reach across divides to find commonality and understanding, despite continuing differences.We are inheritors of an America shaped by prior generations. “All of us benefit from inheritances we did not choose and cannot change. Growing up involves deciding which part of the inheritance you want to claim as your own, . . ." Susan Neiman, Einstein Forum We are not responsible for what forebears did, constructive or destructive. But we each  are responsible for what we do, including perpetuation of selected parts of our national past. We can become a better country by using OYH to develop acceptance of differences and all forms of diversity, which can create a foundation  for stronger communities across this country.
