Our American Stories
Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.

Through a Lens: The Story of The Manhattan Project
•
Host- Lee Habeeb
Richard Cook tells us the story of how in 1943 the town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee was established and went from 58,000 acres of farm land to a town of 75,000 people. The town's purpose? To beat Germany to the atomic bomb. Ed Westcott was the one man in Oak Ridge with a camera, and he captured it all. See his pictures HERE.
