We the People in Illinois
To support presentations of the exhibitions "Between Fences" and "New Harmonies" in 12 towns, the Road Scholars speakers bureau, and a We the People grant line.
We the People in Illinois constitutes a variety of humanities activities that encourage greater public understanding of and appreciation for American history and culture. These include Museum on Main Street, Road Scholars speakers bureau, and the announcement of the IHC's special interest in grant applications on We the people themes. These programs will address issues such as Westward expansion, the history of American music, as well as other smaller, yet significant topics in American culture.
