Report to the People Looking Back on a Memorable Year Dear Friends,

Bill Goodman Executive Director Kentucky Humanities

When I look back at 2018, I smile thinking about the variety and number of ways that we were able to celebrate and share the humanities with Kentuckians. And, I immediately think of you, our friends, who made it all possible. Your unwavering support allows Kentucky Humanities to continue to grow, developing new programs and initiatives. On behalf of the board and staff of Kentucky Humanities, THANK YOU! As Kentucky’s Center for the Book, we were delighted to host U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith in March as a part of her National Project Rural tour, an effort to reach populations typically underexposed to poetry. Smith read poetry and held meaningful discussions with audiences in Bowling Green, Glasgow, and New Haven. In April, we announced a new initiative, Kentucky Reads: All the King’s Men, on the lawn of the birthplace of Kentucky’s own Robert Penn Warren. Kentucky Reads used Warren’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to guide a statewide conversation on contemporary populism, political discourse, their relationship to journalism, and what they can teach us today. Events included community discussions focused on politics and journalism; scholar-led book discussions; and partnering with the University of Kentucky’s Gaines Center for the Humanities for the Bale Boone Symposium featuring national best-selling author and presidential historian Jon Meacham; among many others. We took our family literacy program, PRIME TIME Family Reading Time®, to Kentucky schools, sponsoring 36 six-week Prime Time programs at schools and libraries throughout the state. Having the opportunity to watch families with young children read and discuss books together is a joy, and these are moments to treasure! The Kentucky Book Fair, previously a two-day event, was expanded to the six-day Kentucky Book Festival. Events were held throughout the week, drawing book lovers of all ages. School Days sent children’s authors to 11 rural Kentucky schools to share the love of reading and writing with students. Grants from the Elsa M. Heisel Sule Charitable Foundation and the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels allowed us to give away nearly 2,200 books to children in Kentucky classrooms. The Smithsonian exhibit Hometown Teams concluded its tour through the Commonwealth, making stops at eight rural Kentucky museums in 2018 (the exhibit made seven stops in Kentucky in 2017). These are just some of the highlights of a truly remarkable year. And, while we still look back and celebrate the reach and impact Kentucky Humanities had throughout the Commonwealth in 2018, we are focused on the year ahead and planning new ways to reach more Kentuckians with unique humanities programming in 2019.

Report to the People Kentucky Reads: Kentucky Book All the King's Men Festival®

PRIME TIME Family Reading Time®

In 2018 we embarked on a yearlong program, Kentucky Reads: All the King’s Men. Kentucky Reads included a variety of events held throughout the state, using Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to guide a statewide conversation on contemporary populism and political discourse, their relationship to journalism, and what they can teach us today. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, we held events including: Facebook Live book club meetings; Democracy & the Informed Citizen community forums focused on politics and journalism; scholar-led book discussions; partnering with KET for the premiere of the documentary, Robert Penn Warren: A Vision; and a discussion with filmmaker Tom Thurman and Warren’s daughter, Rosanna; and a Master Class for Kentucky high school students led by Dr. Jonathan Cullick, author of Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men: A Reader’s Companion.

The Kentucky Book Fair, previously a two-day event, was expanded to the six-day Kentucky Book Festival in 2018. With literary events for readers of all ages, the Kentucky Book Festival provided readers more opportunities to engage with more than 170 local and national authors. Anchored by the 37th annual Kentucky Book Fair on Saturday, events throughout the week included: the Literary Luncheon, Truth or Dare YA, Books, Bites & Bourbon, Cocktails & Conversation, Books & Brews Trivia, plus many more! Children’s authors also made visits to 11 rural Kentucky elementary and middle school classrooms and a Master Class for high school students was held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Thanks to grants from the Elsa M. Heisel Sule Charitable Foundation and the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, Kentucky Humanities was able to give books to nearly 2,200 Kentucky students.

PRIME TIME Family Reading Time is a six-week family reading, discussion, and storytelling program held at public librar ies and elementary schools. A scholar and a storyteller conduct weekly sessions based on award -winning children’s books. The program, designed for parents and their 6- to 10-year-old children who are reluctant readers, uses the humanities to create enthusiasm about reading and discussing books. Thanks to a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we were able to expand PRIME TIME to Kentucky elementary schools in 2018. Last year, Kentucky Humanities spon sored 36 PRIME TIME programs, reaching 21 Kentucky counties. Nearly 5,400 people took part in the family literacy program. We have been sponsoring PRIME TIME since 2004, bringing 275 programs to 85 counties, influencing the lives of more than 47,500 Kentuckians.

Report to the People Kentucky Chautauqua®

Chautauqua in the Schools

Speakers Bureau

Kentucky Chautauqua continues to be one of the most popular programs offered by Kentucky Humanities. Since its beginning in 1992, Kentucky Chautauqua has brought to life more than 70 figures from Kentucky’s past. Throughout the year, our Kentucky Chautauquans delivered 187 programs to community organizations throughout the Commonwealth — libraries, historical societies, church groups, college campuses, rota ry clubs, and state parks. More than 13,000 people were educated and entertained by our Kentucky Chautauqua dramas last year. Our 2018 lineup included 28 colorful characters sharing their stories from Kentucky’s unique history. Groups gathered in 63 Kentucky counties to hear stories of the Civil War from President Abraham Lincoln, the exploration and adventures of Daniel Boone, and the determination and success of Montgomery County native Nancy Green.

Kentucky Humanities is bringing history to life in classrooms throughout the Commonwealth! In 2018, Kentucky Chautauquans delivered 223 programs to Kentucky schools, educating and entertaining more than 21,000 elementary, middle, and high school students. Since 2004, we have been delivering Kentucky Chautauqua programs to schools, giving educators an innovative and affordable way to educate students. Each Kentucky Chautauqua drama tells a unique story of Kentucky’s past, covering topics including the new frontier, the Civil War, Kentucky music, slavery, civil rights, empowered women, and civics. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors who believe in the importance of education and valuable experiences for Kentucky students, our Chautauquans can visit classrooms throughout the state at minimal cost to participating schools.

Kentucky Humanities developed a Speakers Bureau in 1986, and over the past 33 years nearly 5,400 Speakers Bureau presentations have been delivered to community groups throughout the Common wealth to an audience greater than 258,000. One of the longest running Kentucky Humanities programs, the Speakers Bureau continues to be in demand throughout the state. Our 2018 Speakers Bureau included a diverse group of scholars, poets, authors, historians, and educators. Fifty-eight speakers offered 108 pre sentations on subjects including beekeeping, music, Kentucky barbecue, quilt ing, the Kentucky frontier, bourbon, Kentucky cuisine, politics, ghost stories, literature, culture, religion, and Kentucky history. In 2018, Speakers Bureau members gave 73 presentations to community groups and classrooms in 32 Kentucky coun ties. More than 3,600 people attended those presentations.

In 2017 and 2018, Kentucky Humanities brought the Smithsonian to rural Kentucky communities! Museum on Main Street is a partnership of the Smithsonian Institute Traveling Exhibition Service and state humanities councils nationwide that serve small-town museums and citizens of rural America. Museum on Main Street engages rural com munities by circulating Smithsonian exhibitions that focus on broad topics of national history and culture. State humanities councils help small museums prepare exhibition-related events for and about their communities. Hometown Teams traveled throughout the state in 2017 and 2018, making stops in 15 Kentucky communities. Seven of those visits were completed in 2017, reaching nearly 17,000 people. The remaining eight visits occurred last year, with more than 14,000 people participating in the Hometown Teams exhibit.

We continued our vlog series, THINK HUMANITIES in 2018. Each episode provided a brief look at Kentucky Humanities programs, events, and happenings in the humanities community. Thanks to Michael Breeding of Michael Breeding Media and his expertise, we are now able to connect with our growing audience in a timely and innovative way.

Kentucky Humanities’ designation as the Library of Congress’ Center for the Book Affiliate in Kentucky, allowed us to host U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith in March 2018. The visit was part of Smith’s National Project Rural tour, an effort to reach populations typically underexposed to poetry. In Bowling Green, Smith read and discussed poetry with the clients of Men’s Addiction Recovery Campus (MARC), a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility serving 120 men struggling with addiction. That evening, Smith was in conversation with Kentucky Poet Laureate Frederick Smock at a public event at the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center in Glasgow. The following morning, she spoke to children and adults at the New Haven Branch of the Nelson County Public Library. Congress created the Library’s Center for the Book in 1977 in an effort to stimulate public interest in books and reading throughout the country.

All Kentuckians are beneficiaries of the University’s generosity because the money Kentucky Humanities would have spent on rent over the past 46 years has instead been invested in humanities programs across the Commonwealth. Since 1995, the beautiful century-old house at 206 East Maxwell Street has been the home of Kentucky Humanities. We are grateful to UK as well as the many faculty members who have participated in our programs. Each of you has made valuable contributions to our mission of Telling Kentucky’s Story.
