American Tapestry: Weaving Together Past, Present, and Future
This new NEH initiative emphasizes the role of the humanities in tackling contemporary social challenges: strengthening our democracy, advancing equity for all and addressing our changing climate. American Tapestry will encourage projects that elevate the role of civics in schools and public programs, promote media literacy and use robust humanities research to examine threats to our democracy. American Tapestry will build capacity at museums, libraries, archives, historic sites, cultural centers and colleges and universities, benefitting more communities while amplifying the untold stories of historically underrepresented groups. Finally, American Tapestry will promote climate resilience in the cultural and educational sectors and encourage humanities research into the human toll of climate change, exploring its historical roots and cultural effects. | | | | | |
