To support project grants of up to $8,000 for locally-initiated community programs on topics related to American history and culture; traveling exhibitions and related programming associated with the national Museum on Main Street; a college-level course focused on Americans' relationships to their landscapes; and a family reading program called My United States.
Humanities Washington (HW) will use the 2006 We the People grant to expand four existing programs. The project grant program and MoMS exhibits provide opportunities for local communities to explore and interpret American history, ideas and institutions. The Port Hadlock Clemente Course will present a We The People course in 2006-2007. Finally, twenty current Motheread/Fatheread instructors will be trained in the new My United States curriculum for use with immigrant populations.
