Humanities Kansas SEK

Specific Need

Southeast Kansas loves the humanities! Last  year southeast Kansans engaged in Humanities Kansas history and America's 250th events, including  the "Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy" traveling exhibition in Pittsburg, Iola, and St. Paul and Declaration Conversations readings and discussions of the Declaration of Independence in Franklin, Independence, and Iola. Kansas history presentations brought stories and ideas about the dust bowl, Kansas music history, petroglyphs, and the life and career of Gordon Parks in Chanute, Fredonia, Independence, and Iola.  Help Humanities Kansas keep more of these opportunities to share the stories of southeast Kansas and spark conversations free and available to all southeast Kansans with a donation on Match Day. 

Mission

Humanities Kansas connects Kansans with stories, ideas, and each other to strengthen our communities.

Together with southeast Kansas partners and supporters, HK encourages southeast Kansans to draw on diverse histories, literatures, and cultures to strengthen our communities, our democracy, and our connections to one another.
