The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) a $190,000 Landmarks of American History and Culture for K–12 Educators Grant for the project “Little Tokyo: How History Shapes a Community Across Generations 2025.”
JANM has been the recipient of this grant for the third year in a row.
The project will support two five-day, residential workshops for 72 secondary school teachers, focusing on Japanese American history and community history through Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo neighborhood.
Workshops will examine how Little Tokyo has been impacted by events and issues such as restrictive covenants, eminent domain, the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans, the civil rights movement, and gentrification to consider how the past is relevant to present day issues of identity and preservation.
Teachers will be joined by scholars, educators, curators, and community historians to learn about Little Tokyo’s evolution throughout history. They will also explore teaching through primary sources, including JANM’s collection, and create lesson plans for classroom use.
JANM’s project is one of the 240 humanities projects nationwide that are funded by $37.5 million in grants from the NEH.
“Our dedicated team of museum professionals and volunteers as well as community leaders and organizations create an impactful and meaningful program that advances the teaching and scholarship of Japanese American history and contextualizes it against the backdrop of civil rights, social justice, diversity, and inclusion,” said Ann Burroughs, JANM president and CEO. “We are proud to offer this outstanding opportunity to educators from across the country once again.”
