 <h1>UCSC Genome Browser Project History</h1>
 
+<h2 id="story">Our Story</h2>
+<p>
+On June 22, 2000, UCSC and the other members of the International Human Genome Project
+consortium completed the first working draft of the human genome assembly, forever
+ensuring free public access to the genome and the information it contains. A few weeks
+later, on July 7, 2000, the newly assembled genome was released on the web at
+http://genome.ucsc.edu, along with the initial prototype of a graphical viewing tool,
+the UCSC Genome Browser. In the ensuing years, the website has grown to include a broad
+collection of vertebrate and model organism assemblies and annotations, along with a
+large suite of tools for viewing, analyzing and downloading data. Learn more about our
+history on the <a
+href="http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/history.html">UCSC Genome Browser Project History</a>
+page and by watching this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6caCfvMIiY">video</a>.
