History Day in Arkansas and the AHC's long-standing African-American cemetery project. A program officer will be devoted to this project which preserves, document, and interpret not only cemeteries, but the histories of the long ignored African American communities in 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 our own program of grants, training, and technical assistance to local groups working to preserve, document, and interpret imperieled African American cenmeteries around the state.
