We the People of Missouri: Exploring and understanding our diverse culture.
To support the redesign and installation of an interactive Osage Tribal exhibit and to develop exhibits about the Civil War era in Missouri; National History Day activities in Missouri; statewide activities for Missouri's reading program called "Read More;" two traveling exhibitions, "New Harmonies," and "Journey Stories;" the reading and discussion program called, "Literature and Medicine;" and "Read from the Start," a family reading program.
Each of the proposed programs of MHC focuses on the development of Missouri history and culture as it relates to the growth and development of the American experience. The programs range from public lectures to community dialogs, from development of educational support materials to the training of classroom teachers, from the sharing of experiences to the encouragement of personal experience, and it promotes literacy and cultural diversity into a significant rural population.
