Letter from the President: Humanities Councils Have Solutions to the Literacy Crisis

Humanities = Higher Education for All

Illinois Humanities believes education is liberatory and should be accessible to all. That belief led them, 25 years ago, to partner with The Clemente Course in the Humanities to offer free college courses to low-income adults in the Chicago area through a program called the Odyssey Project or Proyecto Odisea.
