A special initiative on Martin Luther King, Jr. will emphasize the issue of race through Chautauqua programming, the speakers bureau, the grants program, and Maryland History Day.

The Maryland Humanities Council will use the 2007 We the People funding to support programming related to our special initiative, "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Remembrance and Reconciliation," in four program areas that have proven effective in engaging broad audiences throughout our state. Additional, non-initiative components in each of these program areas will further offer Marylanders the opportunity to explore the rich diversity of America's history and culture.
