The Delaware Humanities Forum is pleased to be a recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities' “We the People” funding, a portion of which is used for re-grants. Through its “We the People” program, the National Endowment for the Humanities funds activities that encourage and enhance the teaching, study, and understanding of American history, culture, and democratic principles. Here in Delaware, we have used WTP funding to support programming surrounding the American Revolution and its connection to Delaware, our 35th Anniversary “Picturing Delaware” activities, and this year, a series of programs highlighting Delaware’s industrial history.
