King Foundation Supports Workshop on the U.S. Constitution

Humanities Texas greatly appreciates the support of the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation, which is generously providing grant support for a teacher workshop on the U.S. Constitution and the history of the early American republic, to be held in Dallas this fall. King Foundation support will allow us to provide Texas teachers with the opportunity to work closely with leading scholars on topics at the heart of the state's U.S. history curriculum. Humanities Texas will invite applications for this workshop later in the summer. More»
