The Thomas County Historical Society Inc., doing business as the Thomas County Museum of History, was awarded a $373,842 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct two one-week teacher workshops focusing on the African American community's quest for freedom after the Civil War using Thomasville and surrounding areas as a case study. The workshops aim to promote better teaching of American history and culture through the NEH's Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163), which supports institutes that promote better teaching and research in the humanities for higher education faculty and K-12 educators. The workshops will utilize the region surrounding the Thomas County Museum of History to examine the post-Civil War struggle for freedom by the African American community over the period from 1865 to 1954.
