Activities exploring American history and culture including a public symposium on the U.S. Supreme Court, a new library-based, scholar-led reading & discussion series and a grant initiative to support local humanities programming.

During the years 2006–2008, Mass Humanities is focusing on the theme “Liberty and justice for all,” a phrase with many different, often conflicting, meanings in our nation’s history. We will use WTP monies to advance the theme in three ways: (1) making grants for humanities projects that engage the public in exploring the theme; (2) creating a new library-based, scholar-led reading & discussion series; and (3) sponsoring a free public symposium on the U.S. Supreme Court.
