COMES TO AHC!
A strong and vital democracy requires that Americans study American institutions, culture, and history. To help Americans continue to make sense of their history and of the world around them, AHC is collaborating with NEH to implement the We the People initiative in Arizona. We the People gives Arizonans the opportunity to explore significant events and themes in American history and culture, advance their knowledge of the principles that define America, and increase their knowledge and appreciation of American history.
AHC invites local communities to take part in the We the People initiative by exploring events and themes in American history and culture through Speakers Bureau programs, Community Book Discussions and grant-funded projects.
AHC has identified speaker presentations and book titles that fit the following We the People themes: constitutional values/civil rights, ethnic diversity, immigration experiences, religious tolerance, and western expansion. These are suggested programs; you may find other presentations and titles in the AHC Program Catalog which are appropriate for a We the People program. To apply for a speaker or book discussion, please consult the respective guidelines for eligibility and instructions. Please note on your application that this will be a We the People program. AHC staff is available to assist with program planning.
