The Rhode Island Council for the Humanities has announced major grant awards to 15 public projects and documentary films that showcase the power of the humanities to connect communities and strengthen civil society.
“This past year has presented so many obstacles to humanities organizations, to scholars, and to artists. Nevertheless, this community has adapted to the pandemic and risen to the challenge to reach people through the humanities, to contend with the past and to be part of a movement for justice. The humanities are showing the way to a renewed civil society. This year’s major project grants promise to do this in bold and creative ways,” said Elizabeth Francis, Executive Director.

Legislation calling for the teaching of Black history and heritage goes before the Rhode Island House next week and is expected to win passage. The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Anastasia Williams, D-Providence, has the backing of House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and House Finance Chairman Marvin Abney.
The legislation is the culmination of six years of work by the 1696 Historical Commission, led by Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea in partnership with the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society, Rhode Island College, the Rhode Island Historical Society and the Newport Historical Society.
The commission submitted a report to the General Assembly and Gov. Gina Raimondo. Since then, a task force has been assembling the historical and educational materials to build a curriculum.
