First Person American

First Person American is an initiative to change the public’s perception of immigrants and to interject a new voice through deep and poignant portraits of people who immigrated to America. In partnership with the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, First Person American speaks to the next generation of immigrants and promotes the idea that storytelling and design can have a positive social impact. First Person American is a content-driven website with video interviews that explores the modern immigrant identity through personal storytelling, visual documentation and interactive media.
