Bill overview
This bill creates the History Is Learned from the Living grant program, which will provide $50,000 grants to community groups, organizations, and institutions. These grants are designed to support projects that document and preserve the oral histories of individuals who participated in significant historical movements over the past century. The goal is to ensure these stories, including those of lesser-known ‘unsung heroes,’ are preserved for future generations.
