National history day supplements [mississippi humanities council (MHC) requests funding to support two teacher training workshops run by national history day (NHD) and the local NHD affiliate, mississippi department of archives and history. The workshops will be held in natchez and senatobia, two areas of the state where a significant portion of the population lives below the poverty line. Each of the two workshops will accommodate 25 teachers who will earn continuing education credits and receive stipends to defray any costs to attend. The project team will invite, select, and communicate with teachers prior to the workshop to encourage successful participation. Additionally, MHC will use a portion of the funding to incorporate historical research projects into their existing educational programs at the youthful offenders unit (you) at the central mississippi correctional facility in pearl, MS, with the goal of having students at you participate in future NHD programs.]
