The Maryland Humanities Council will use the 2010 We the People funding to support five program areas that are effective in engaging diverse audiences: Maryland History Day, Chautauqua, Speakers Bureau, Practicing Democracy, and the Grant program. Each of these program areas offers Marylanders the opportunity to personally explore the rich diversity of America's history and culture and become more civically engaged.
