The Humanities Take Us There |
It’s Membership May, our month-long membership drive.
By donating to MO Humanities, you’re supporting impactful storytelling, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. Your support helps us connect more Missourians to our diverse communities, our rich cultures, and – ultimately – to each other.
So what are the humanities, and why do they matter?
While perusing the internet, I ran across this message from Former Hall Center Director Richard Godbeer. It was well said and worth sharing - and a reason that everyone should take an interest in the Humanities by becoming a member of your statewide Humanities Council, such as Missouri Humanities.
