The Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission is again offering “Let Freedom Ring” Travel Grants of up to $750 to help Arkansas students visit two museums that tell the stories of how the Civil War affected African-Americans in Arkansas.
The effort is in cooperation with the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. Grants will assist school groups in visiting the “Freedom! Oh, Freedom!” exhibit at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center in Little Rock or Freedom Park and the Delta Cultural Center in Helena-West Helena.
Deadlines are the first of each month through November. Details: Jama Best, senior program officer, Arkansas Humanities Council, 501-320-5761 or jamabest@sbcglobal.net or visit www.arkhums.org
