Humanities Montana Speaker in the Schools Program Is Canceled

On Wednesday, April 2, Humanities Montana received notice that its general operating grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities was canceled. The general operating grant pays for all of its programs, including Speakers in the Schools, which brought expert humanities presenters like first-person interpreter Mary Jane Bradbury and Montana poet laureate Chris La Tray to classrooms across the state.

With the cancelation of the grant, all Speakers in the Schools programs, including presentations that have already been scheduled, are canceled. You can learn more about the work of Humanities Councils, including Humanities Montana, and find out if there are any new developments, at the Federation of State Humanities Councils website.
