How do diverse Americans understand the American Creed?

An Invitation to Write:

Joan Blades and Mark Meckler began a conversation that led them to better understand each other and the nation they held in common. We invite you to respond to American Creed through conversations and interviews. You might portray a conversation among members of your community, between aspects of yourself, between fictional or historical characters, or others. Or you might interview members of the community to portray their voices and views.

Suggested submissions include: Essays and memoirs, digital stories, audio stories, oral histories, or recorded interviews, annotated photo essays, or more. Be inspired by these youth-created examples below.
