    "The healthiest communities are those that are built around active libraries, museums, and other cultural centers, that have a strong sense of their own history and identity, that have good quality schools, along with mechanisms for involving their residents in the process of solving problems and planning for the future. Supporting these kinds of communities is what the state humanities councils are all about." - Esther Mackintosh, FSHC President, at a White House briefing

Ways to Support the Humanities and Council Programming:

Support for the humanities is critical for the health, success, and future of our nation. The humanities are not just a collection of academic disciplines. They are the story of human experience, aspiration, struggle, and achievement. They help us understand what it means to be human. Support for humanities programs is important because they foster critical thinking, increase historical and cultural understanding, promote civil discussions of difficult issues, bring families together, and reunite communities.
