This bill would create a 12-member National Council on African American History and Culture within the National Endowment for the Humanities. This council would advise on national policies and evaluate programs to better support African American heritage. This would benefit the public and cultural organizations across the U.S.
Today, there is no dedicated National Council on African American History and Culture within the National Endowment for the Humanities. If this bill becomes law, a new 12-member Council would be established to specifically focus on advising, evaluating programs, and recommending national policies to preserve and celebrate African American history and culture.
