To support Arkansas History Day; the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture; and a regrant program for projects that explore significant themes and events in American history and culture, including the preservation and documentation of African American cemeteries.

The Arkansas Humanities Council will allocate We the People funds to two council projects that are consistent with the purposes of the WTP initiative: the annual statewide History Day in Arkansas program and completion of the website component of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture. We will also allocate We the People funds to selected regrant projects that are consitent with the initiative's goals.
