In recognition of Virgin Islands History Month (observed annually in March since 2006), the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) is hosting its second virtual showcase of humanities projects celebrating Virgin Islands’ history, heritage and culture. The first one took place in 2021. This year’s event can be seen via Zoom from 1-3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, is free and open to the public. The showcase will also be live-streamed from CFVI’s Facebook page.

Presentations will be made by 23 of CFVI’s humanities project grantees, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). To see a list of recent projects, visit www.cfvi.co/NEHprojects2023

“The showcase is a wonderful opportunity to experience first-hand accounts of the impactful role our Virgin Islands nonprofit community is having in local humanities programming,” said CFVI President Dee Baecher-Brown. “This impressive body of work reflects the significant contributions that have been made to the cultural, intellectual and social enrichment of the territory.”
