Humanities Nebraska helps Nebraskans explore what connects us and makes us human. Their wide range of programming serves educational settings, communities, and public forums. Executive Director Chris Sommerich and Program Manager Kristi Hayek Carley share about the Capitol Forum on America's Future, a grant program that provides resources and an opportunity to explore view points in the high school social studies classroom. Student participants meet at the State Capitol to examine how key global issues affect our state and nation.
