Reading Douglass in the Streets
And in cafes, on the beach, in the park, at City Hall…
Readers came out in droves last year for our annual reading Frederick Douglass series. Expect good things from an event near you! We’re offering grants of up to $500 for hosts to facilitate a public reading of The Meaning of the Fourth of July for the Negro. It’s a text that asks meaningful questions about our race relations and what liberty means to us. Interested hosts will find details here.

Have Smartphone, Will Time Travel
Time travel two centuries back to a New England farm using just your phone.
The 1806 mansion and estate of Christopher and Rebecca Gore is a 45-acre blast from the past. Mass Humanities helped Gore Place, the nonprofit that manages the property, to bring their work to you, no matter where in the world you are. A $5,000 project grant awarded in 2012 brought Gore Place to the small screen. Click here to time travel.
