OUR STORY
"Who controls history, and how it is written, controls the past, and who controls the past controls the present." - Robin W. Winks
​
​
History is a collection of stories, experiences, patterns, societal trends, and movements that are meant to be analyzed to reach a more true understanding of the past. Only recently has the scholarship reconstructed common knowledge by incorporating the records of minorities. Inspired by our own experiences and family legacy, Viva Voce seeks to give others the opportunity to preserve their history and give a voice to those who have been silenced.
