Humanity has always been a vague word for me. College classes in humanities...what were they all about anyhow? Today, I find out with a conversation with Lindsey Baker who is the Executive Director of Maryland Humanities.
We covered a lot of ground from the One Maryland One Book
program (for readers) to the Museums on Main Street program (for
history lovers) to a new program Voices & Votes Electoral
Engagement Project which is an oral history of the electoral
process this year!
There was so much more including the grants they make to small
non-profits across Maryland, how they receive their funding, how
they coped during COVID-19, and how you can becoe involved and
support Maryland Humanities!
In light of today's divisiveness, their mission seems a bit apropos. It reads in part:
... to embrace lifelong learning, exchange ideas openly, and enrich their communities.
And we could all use a bit more of that!
Have a listen!
