Led by documentarian Katrina Parks and a team of humanities experts, the Atomic Legacy on Route 66 project captures the untold stories of individuals affected by the American nuclear industry, particularly those in the Southwestern and Indigenous communities along Route 66. The project focuses on Arizona and New Mexico communities, where nuclear activities have left a lasting imprint. The project will foster a more inclusive historical record by engaging audiences through screening and discussion programs and ongoing history education activities. This program is made possible with support from Arizona Humanities (AH), the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Road Ahead Partnership, and the Flagstaff Public Library.
