To support the grant initiative "Better Together: Kansans Tell Their Stories" to encourage the study of local cultural resources which reflect the impact of ethnic groups throughout Kansas' 150 years.

Better Together: Kansans Tell Their Stories strengthens community and connects Kansans by uncovering stories that tell a more inclusive history of today's Kansas. A follow up to the previous We the People initiative, these funds will support projects that preserve the history of ethnic and immigrant groups in Kansans. Museum professionals, historians, and folklorists serve as consultants for oral histories, research projects, and exhibit development.
