NEH ESSENTIALSGreat Projects Past and Present
NEH grantees teach warrior-scholars. They preserve endangered languages. They show the history of the civil rights struggle through film and discover what life was like for early colonists in Jamestown. They open a window onto our history and our future. Here are a selection of NEH-funded projects that have shaped what we know about ourselves and our world.
