Hope for a Better Tomorrow | Marshallese Educational Initiative

Created by the nonprofit Marshallese Educational Initiative (MEI), this exhibit features artwork by Marshallese youth in Springdale, Arkansas. The drawings reveal the generational trauma caused by U.S. nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands. Through powerful visual storytelling, the exhibit raises awareness about the lasting impact of nuclear testing and highlights the voices of Marshallese youth living in diaspora.

Marshall Islands Story Project: Oral Histories

A collaboration between the College of the Marshall Islands and Loyola University Maryland, this project preserves Marshallese culture by collecting oral histories and traditional stories from elders. Marshallese students play an active role in documenting and sharing these narratives. The archive consists of a collection of photos, videos, and text, as well as additional resources to support Marshallese education.
