The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $132,760 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access (CFDA 45.149) program to The Museum At Bethel Woods, a non-profit organization. The grant, titled "1960S ORAL HISTORIES – NEW YORK COMMUNITY CONNECTORS", will fund a project to organize, connect, and collect stories of the 1960s counterculture experience in New York City, with a focus on gathering stories from underrepresented voices and diverse and disadvantaged communities. The project will be carried out in two phases, with Phase 1 centered in Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood, focusing on the African American community and other communities of color, and Phase 2 drawing from the Upper West Side, the Village, and Brooklyn, focusing on the LGBTQ+ communities. The project will utilize teams consisting of a project manager, coordinator, and community consultants to develop questions, outlines, and collect stories, photographs, and maps to aid in storytelling and memory recall.
