Voices Rising

Stories that speak up. Voices that bring us together.
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, Minnesota PBS invites you to explore the people, stories, and experiences that have shaped Minnesota — and continue to shape America.
Through documentaries, conversations, digital storytelling, and community events, Voices Rising: Minnesota PBS Stories for America’s 250th brings together diverse perspectives from across our state to reflect on where we've been, who we are today, and where we're headed together.
From untold moments in Minnesota history to contemporary stories of creativity, civic life, culture, and community, Voices Rising creates space to listen, learn, and connect through the stories that define us.
