About UNUM:

Ken Burns UNUM is a digital destination designed to provide historical context to today’s issues and spark conversation. Drawing from Florentine Films library of work, UNUM highlights themes throughout American history to advance a more complete understanding of our past, present and future.

UNUM is inspired by the original motto of the United States, e pluribus unum — out of many, one. Building on the vision behind the award-winning Ken Burns iPad app, UNUM enables Burns and the team at Florentine Films to curate related content relevant to each scene: videos, articles, books, podcast excerpts, and tweets, which helps viewers explore the theme more deeply or hear contemporary perspectives.

UNUM, which is free for all users, was made possible thanks to support from the philanthropist David Rubenstein through The Better Angels Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of American history, introducing and educating Americans to multiple aspects of their history.
