Funding will support history Day in Arkansas, the African American cemetery project, and a website.

The Arkansas Humanities Council proposes to allocate We The People funds to two state wide programs consistent with the purposes of the WTP initiative and the council's own core goals: the annual state wide 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 cemeteries around the state. The AHC also proposes to upgrade its website to allow for access to council programs, grants, technical assistance and information.
