*This project has taken self-identification and pronouns into account while grappling with such a fluid subject matter. Each featured person is referred to by their personally preferred pronouns as our research best indicated. We recognize public and private opinions have changed over time on this matter and some individuals may have never felt safe or comfortable to identify their true selves. We are committed to telling each story accurately and if there are oversights in our material, please bring them to our attention.
The Extra and Ordinary Traveling Trunk features music from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Special thanks to the American Women's History Initiative, and Office of the Undersecretary for Education who funded the building of this program, and to Rosita Gonzalez, our voice actor.
