The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) to The Catticus Corporation, a woman-owned non-profit organization, to produce, test, assess, and host an educational interactive documentary website titled "The Barbara Johns Project." This project aims to illuminate the African American struggle for freedom during the era of segregation (Jim Crow) in the South between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, a narrative that is often overlooked in racial discourse. The website will serve as a multimedia platform to engage the public with this important but underrepresented aspect of American history. The award period is from June 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025.
