In August, 2022 the National Endowment for the Humanities announced a three-year grant of $300,000 to the Freedmen and Southern Society Project for work on two volumes of Freedom: A Documentary History of Emancipation, 1861-1867. The grant, which will run from July 2023 to June 2026, will support completion and publication of Family and Kinship, the edition's eighth volume, and editorial work on Church, School, and Community, the ninth and final volume. Leslie Rowland is the project director. The project's other editors are Steven Miller and James Illingworth.
The mission of the Center is to promote and support diverse forms of inquiry in the humanities. The Center’s work engages stakeholders in innovative and inclusive approaches to understanding the value of the humanities for improving our lives.
