More than 200 grantees around the country-- libraries, museums, state humanities councils, historical societies and other nonprofits selected through a competitive application process-- are receiving funding, resources and support to host festivals, collect oral histories, facilitate informed discussions and hold other public events about Latino American history and culture between July 1, 2015, and July 1, 2016.

 

All grantees will also host scholar-led viewing and discussion events that feature the documentary film "Latino Americans," supported by an NEH grant and created for PBS by the WETA public television station.

 

Fresno State (the Library, Chicano and Latin American Studies and History department) was one of the 203 grant recipients who received the $3,000 programming grant.
