To support the annual statewide History Day in Arkansas, and to expand the Arkansas Humanities Council's program of grants, training, and technical assistance to local groups working to preserve, document and interpret African American cemeteries throughout the state of Arkansas.

The Arkansas Humanities Council proposes to allocate We the People funds to two statewide programs consistent with the purposes of the WTP initiative and the council's own core goals: the annual statewide History Day in Arkansas program conducted by the University of Central Arkansas and an expansion of our own program of grants, training, and technical asistance to local groups working to preserve, document, and interpret imperiled African American cemeteries around the state.
