I Hear America Singing, a project of the University of Pittsburgh's Center for American Music in conjunction with The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, will design a prototype and plan the implementation for an NEH-sponsored website that explores America's culture and history through iconic songs. Consulting with a broadly represented advisory group of scholars, K-12 educators, a web design team, and an educational consultant, this Special Chairman's grant project will devise a website that will engage and teach educators as well as a diverse public audience about the nation's heritage.
