State Humanities Program
General operating support for state or territorial humanities council
Delaware Humanities Council Incorporated strengthens our communities by inspiring all Delawareans to be informed and engaged through exploring the diversity of human experience. We have begun to implement a three-year strategic plan that calls for leading with programming made more accessible to diverse audiences and with the support of grantmaking. Our programs and grant strategies will be aligned to four key focus areas: Culture & Diversity, Media & Democracy, Climate & Environment, and Stories & Histories. Through these focus areas, we will relate larger questions posed by the humanities about democracy, who we are, how we characterize ourselves, and the world around us in terms that are relatable and relevant to Delawareans from a variety of backgrounds.

The Delaware Humanities Forum will use this We the People grant to help Delawareans explore their own backyard. Through a series of small regrants; a major project in each county; bus trips; readings; publications and discussions, we will look at how Delaware has been pictured by past generations, by today's residents, and our aspirations for Delaware's future image.

Freedom's Fathers: Connecting People, Cultures and Ideas
A series of public programs, including Chautauqua presentations and symposia, on the history and principles of the US Constitution, with emphasis on the contributions of Delaware citizens to the drafting of the document, followed by visits to the US Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Freedom's Fathers is a multi-faceted program focusing on the dramatic story behind the development of the United States Constitution. The audience participants will be mostly citizens older than 18. Of particular interest will be how the octogenarian Ben Franklin, youthful James Madison, and the battle - weary George Washington helped to shape the thinking that led to this " miracle in Philadelphia". Delaware, the state that started a nation, was represented by five delegates- John Dickinson, Gunning Bedford, George Reed, Richard Bassett and Jacob Broom.

Government, Power, and the People of Delaware: Humanistic Inquiry into Government
General operating support for state or territorial humanities council
The Delaware committee's first year program hopes to promote dialogue among humanists and the public on the history, philosophy, and value considerations which have led to the development of government as it exists today. Such humanistic insights will provide important perspective to discussion on such issues as the proper role of government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens when tied to specific public policy issues such an education, taxation and law enforcement.
