On Tuesday the Trump administration, via DOGE, came in to the National Endowment for the Humanities to make substantial reductions in staff, slash the agency’s grant programs and rescind grants that have already been awarded. Founded in 1965, the NEH has allocated more than $6 billion in grants to museums, historical sites, libraries, state humanities councils and higher education institutions to support a variety of programs.

Do these cuts have an impact on your history site? Others like yours? Share your experience in the comments below.

A song that hits home as we close out Women's History Month 🎼

"We are The Highwomen
Singing stories still untold
We carry the sons you can only hold
We are the daughters of the silent generations
You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations
It may return to us as tiny drops of rain
But we will still remain
And we'll come back again and again and again"
