Extending Our Reach
We owe you our success
I
f we may judge success by the number of people who have welcomed our programs and services to their communities, their schools, and their homes, the past two years have been the best in the Kentucky Humanities Council’s
37-year history. In 2008 and 2009, the Council has been a part of the lives of nearly 300,000 Kentuckians of all ages and
in every corner of the Commonwealth.
But the real congratulations are due to you. You have done more than invite and include the Council — you have
informed our choices, expressed your interests, contributed your talents, and told us your stories: we can come to you
because you have come to us. Thank you for the opportunities you have given us over the past two years. Without you,
there would be no Kentucky Humanities Council.
From sharing the story of Kentucky’s Abraham Lincoln on a national stage in Washington, D.C., to introducing families
to the library in Trigg County, our goal is to offer something of value to every Kentuckian, bringing people together
through the unifying themes of our history, our heritage, and our culture. That’s why we share your stories in our magazine and portray them in your community museums. Kentucky’s stories truly are our pride and our glory.
From 2008-2009 Kentucky Chautauqua® and the Speakers Bureau expanded rapidly. During that two-year span, we
reached 185 community organizations that had not previously experienced Kentucky Humanities Council programs. We
added five new Chautauqua characters to our cast in 2009, and, thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities and our regional sponsors, we doubled the number of Chautauqua programs we sent to Kentucky’s classrooms.
In partnership with the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, PRIME TIME Family Reading Time® continued
to grow. Targeting children aged six to ten and their families, PRIME TIME is helping Kentucky families read together,
learn together, and talk thoughtfully together about the enduring ideas that will inform their lives as families, community
members, and citizens in a democracy. The Kentucky Humanities Council has now introduced PRIME TIME to 51 Kentucky
county libraries. Many more are waiting to participate.
Thank you for the successes of the past two years. Your support gives us the courage behind our commitment to continue developing new and innovative ways of extending our reach across the Commonwealth. Since inception in 1972,
the Kentucky Humanities Council has invested $14 million in Kentucky communities, reaching more than 15 million
people. With your help, that’s just the beginning.
Thank you for being the reason we Tell Kentucky’s Story.
Most sincerely,
Virginia G. Carter

Report to the People 2008-2009
Our Lincoln: Kentucky’s Gift to the Nation
Taking Washington by (or in spite of ) Storm
O
n February 2, 2009, the Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. celebrated the
bicentennial of the nation’s 16th president and Kentucky’s native son with a
musical, theatrical, historical extravaganza at the John F. Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Despite the ice storm that ravaged our state, isolating communities and leaving
thousands without power for weeks, more than one thousand people left Kentucky
and headed to the nation’s capital to witness this tribute, the only one of its kind in
Washington in February, to the man who changed our nation, forging “a new birth
of freedom.”
Our Lincoln was originally produced in February, 2008 at the Singletary Center
for the Arts on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The success of that soldout program prompted co-producers Dr. Virginia Carter, director of the Humanities
Council, and Dr. Everett McCorvey, head of the UK Opera Theatre, to organize the
Washington event.
It was Kentucky’s night to shine as audiences from seven states were in Washington to witness more than 375 Kentucky musicians, vocalists, dramatists, and dancers
fill the stage of the Kennedy Center’s largest hall. The cast included: The Lexington
Singers and their Children’s Choir; the UK Chorale; UK Opera Theatre; the American
Spiritual Ensemble; Kentucky Chautauqua® dramatists; the Kentucky Repertory
Theatre; Kentucky’s Poet Laureate, Jane Vance; Metropolitan Opera stars Angela
Brown and Gregory Turay; the Lexington Vintage Dance Society; the UK Symphony
Orchestra; and violinist Mark O’Connor. Bob Edwards, host of the” Bob Edwards
Show” on XM Radio and award-winning NPR personality, served as master of
ceremonies, and beloved Kentuckian Nick Clooney was a star narrator.

Speakers Bureau and
Kentucky Chautauqua®
Programs: 953
Counties: 112
Audience: 97,020
O
ur Speakers Bureau and Kentucky Chautauqua programs
continue to grow in popularity,
helping us make strides toward our goal
of reaching every county in Kentucky.
In 2008-2009, 93 percent of Kentucky’s
counties (112 of 120) hosted Speakers
Bureau talks or Kentucky Chautauqua
performances. Thanks to program sponsors, 97,020 Kentuckians enjoyed these
unique Kentucky Humanities Council
speakers or Chautauqua dramas.
We offered more than 147 talks
given by 40 speakers and 23
Kentucky Chautauqua characters
to nonprofit organizations across
the state. We introduced five new
Kentucky Chautauqua characters
in 2009 — Lucy Bakewell Audubon,
Rosemary Clooney, Justice John
Marshall Harlan, Billy Herndon, and
Johnny Green — giving us a total of
55 characters since Kentucky Chautauqua’s inception in 1992.
In 2009 we took our Kentucky
Chautauqua dramas to schools across
the Commonwealth. The Chautauqua
in the Schools program gives teachers
an exciting way to educate students
about Kentucky’s rich history and
culture. Thanks to our sponsors and
underwriters Kentucky Chautauqua
went to 285 schools, reaching 31,022
elementary, middle, and high school
students in Kentucky.
We thank you for your continued
support of the Speakers Bureau and
Kentucky Chautauqua programs. With
your assistance, these have become
our most popular programs and are a
vital asset in helping us in our mission
of Telling Kentucky’s Story.

I
n just a short amount of time,
PRIME TIME Family Reading Time
has become one of the most
important programs offered by the
Kentucky Humanities Council.
The goal of PRIME TIME is to help
turn at-risk students between the
ages of six and ten into committed
readers.
In 2008-2009, twenty-nine Kentucky
libraries hosted PRIME TIME programs,
exposing 8,372 Kentuckians to their
local library and the joys of reading.
Families who take part in the sixweek PRIME TIME program are introduced to the library and with
all it has to offer. Each PRIME TIME
program includes a scholar and a
storyteller, teaching families how to
enjoy reading together and discuss
the books they read.
PRIME TIME Family Reading Time
can change the lives of those who
take part in the program. With that
in mind, the Kentucky Humanities
Council, in partnership with the Kentucky Department for Libraries and
Archives, plans to continue to grow
the program.
PRIME TIME is brought to
Kentucky libraries by the

I
n 2008-2009, two Smithsonian Institution exhibits came
to the Commonwealth. New Harmonies: Celebrating
American Roots Music delighted viewers in six Kentucky
counties — Bullitt, Clark, Henderson, Johnson, Kenton, and
Mason — from March 2008 through January 2009. Developed by the Smithsonian with rural audiences and small
museums in mind, New Harmonies is a history of America’s
musical landscape. This exhibit looks at familiar songs, the
history of various instruments, the roles of religion and
technology in creating new sounds, and the development
of music from the Colonial period to modern day music.
Another exhibit, Between Fences, traveled to six more
Kentucky counties — Barren, Bell, Boyle, Calloway, Oldham,
and Scott — from October 2008 to July 2009. This exhibit
details the important role that fences played in the history
and development of the American way of life.
Kentuckians will have twelve more opportunities to view
Smithsonian exhibits in 2011 and 2012. Back by popular
demand, New Harmonies will be available to six more museums, and the new exhibit, Journey Stories, will tour to six sites
beginning in 2011.
Look for these exhibits at a museum in your neighborhood. The full schedule can be found on our Web site:

Telling Kentucky’s Story
T
he Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. is committed to sharing Kentucky’s stories with its people. An independent,
nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Kentucky Humanities Council is a proud
partner of Kentucky’s arts and cultural agencies, but receives no state funding. The Council is governed by a twentythree-member volunteer board of directors and is supported financially by the NEH and private contributions.
Since its founding in 1972, the Kentucky Humanities Council has reached all corners of the Commonwealth. All of our
programs and services are available to nonprofit community groups and share with them a common goal — reconnecting Kentuckians with Kentucky’s culture, history and tradition.
Over the past two years, the Council has sponsored 1,074 humanities programs throughout the state, reaching thousands of Kentuckians.
In thirty-seven years of operation, the Kentucky Humanities Council has invested $14 million in public humanities
programs.

Telling Kentucky’s Story
The Kentucky Humanities Council
offers businesses the opportunity to
invest in Kentucky’s greatest resource —
ITS PEOPLE.
An educated, literate community
strengthens Kentucky’s workforce.
Educated, well-rounded individuals
contribute to a stronger workforce
and a more desirable location for
businesses. The Kentucky Humanities Council works with scholars
and educators throughout the state
to develop programs with these
goals in mind. We have invested
$14 million in the Commonwealth’s
communities helping them build a
stronger Kentucky.
Programs sponsored by the Kentucky
Humanities Council reach all areas
of the Commonwealth and teach a
wide array of skills.
The Kentucky Humanities Council
sponsors programs reaching every
county in the state. From Kentucky
Chautauqua® and Prime Time Family Reading Time® to our Speakers Bureau and Museum on Main
Street, we have programs and services designed to benefit all ages
and all education levels.
An investment in Kentucky humanities
programs is an investment in Kentucky
communities.
For 38 years, the Kentucky Humanities
Council has been telling Kentucky’s
stories. Our programs, designed to
share Kentucky’s rich heritage, culture,
and tradition, have touched the lives
of more than 15 million people. We
continue to find new and innovative
ways to reach our audience, taking
programs into classrooms and awarding grants to support the good ideas
of community leadership.
SINCE 1972, WE HAVE IMPACTED KENTUCKY’S WORKFORCE.
The Kentucky Humanities Council welcomes partnerships with Kentucky businesses
to strengthen Kentucky communities and build a brighter future.

Thank You UK!
We are thankful to the University of Kentucky for
continuing to be the Kentucky Humanities Council’s
greatest benefactor. Since our founding in 1972, UK
has provided us with office space. All Kentuckians are
beneficiaries of the university’s generosity because the
extraordinary sum we would have spent on rent and
utilities over the past thirty-seven 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 our home.
We are grateful to the University of Kentucky, including the many faculty members who have participated
in our programs, for its valuable contributions to our
mission of Telling Kentucky’s Story.
