Georgia Humanities Council (Atlanta, GA 30303-2934)
Jamil S. Zainaldin (Project Director: March 2010 to September 2014)

To support library partnerships, Civil War and Civil Rights partnerships, programming to complement the American Experience documentary "Freedom Riders," content development and content updates for the New Georgia Encyclopedia, and grants for the "from the past, in the present, for the future" initiative.

From July 1, 2010-December 31, 2011, the Georgia Humanities Council will work with scholars and cultural organizations to implement programs in communities across our state under the theme “from our past, in the present, for the future”. All of the programs will engage the public in reflecting on America’s literature and history, to ground them in the context of our nation’s ideas and principles and to prepare them to make decisions for the future. Formats will include book/film discussions, lectures, competitive grants, and an online reference work, as well as planning and research efforts towards a travelling exhibition that will visit Georgia during 2012.
