We the People-The Story of America Told A Thousand Ways

FAIN: BC-50305-06

New Hampshire Humanities Council (Concord, NH 03301-3852)
Deborah Watrous (Project Director: March 2006 to April 2009)

To support a variety of programs and book discussion across the state that focus on important events and principles in American history and culture, and to support "Vote! Heritage and Privilege," a four-part workshop for public school teachers on the history of voting in the United States.

The NH Humanities Council will dedicate its We the People grant to three major initiatives in 2006. Taken together, Humanities To Go, What is New Hampshire Reading, and the Teacher Workshop, “Vote! Heritage and Privilege,” will reach thousands of New Hampshire citizens with reflective, informative, and interactive programs on American history and culture. Many topics and scholars are new, and new staff energy and ideas are refreshing these long-standing, perennially-successful initiatives.
