A recent talk on humanities took place at the Graham County Public Library, emphasizing the importance of investing in humanities alongside science and technology. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, which established the National Endowment for the Humanities. Unfortunately, Humanities Kansas recently received a letter terminating federal funding, putting significant projects at risk. The Act emphasizes that democracy depends on the exchange of ideas and supports education in arts and humanities to make citizens masters of technology.
Humanties Kansas has supported numerous events in local communities, bringing people together through history, literature, and cultural activities. The organization plays a vital role in preserving stories, connecting people to their past, and promoting civic engagement. Through programs like local history presentations, oral histories, and exhibitions, Kansans engage with their democracy and strengthen their communities. It is essential to continue supporting humanities initiatives to foster dialogue, preserve heritage, and promote a better future for Kansas and the nation.
