We Did It! Teaching American History Grant Preserved for FY 2011

The National Council for History Education reported today that our shared efforts at preserving the Teaching American History Grant Program was successful. The program (not an earmark) was reduced to $46 million, though it was preserved.

Hundreds of educators, including those in Hawaii, as well as university and college faculty, librarians, archivists and museum staff across 35 states worked together to effectively reach out to our U.S. House and Senate members.

History Education Hawaii extends its thanks to Hawaii education professionals, historians, students, museum and library staff members for making their voices heard. We are especially grateful for the leadership exhibited by the NCHE. Big mahalo to all!
