The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History (GLI) is requesting an Exhibitions Planning grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). This proposal, entitled The Long Struggle for Equality: The Declaration of Independence at 250, is in response to the NEH’s Public Humanities Projects RFP for the planning of 1) an innovative traveling exhibition (created in print and digital forms), 2) scholar-led, community-based conversations and programming in rural and small urban-area public libraries in 25 states across five regions of the country, and 3) a wealth of online resources for the general public, including teachers, students, and families. The online materials would support and expand upon the content presented in the traveling exhibition and in the local forums, and would also stand on their own for viewers who are unable to attend the in-person program. |
