Description
The National Park Service is offering grants to Japanese American organizations for large-scale education projects that focus on the historical importance of understanding Japanese American confinement during World War II. The grants aim to educate the public about this period in American history and promote equal justice under the law. Eligible applicants must be private nonprofit organizations established to promote the understanding and appreciation of ethnic and cultural diversity in the United States. The projects should address a critical need in education, be technically feasible, and educate a broad and diverse audience.
