Our Commitment

At the heart of the humanities are stories. Stories carry our culture; they educate, transform, and change us. They can spark new ideas and fresh thinking but we must willingly listen to one another and engage in difficult conversations about our past, the complexities we face today, and the future we can create together. Democracy demands wisdom and vision from its citizens and only the humanities provide a path to gain both.

• Humanities Kansas stands with all fellow humans engaged in the enduring struggle for justice and we commit to doing what we can to achieve an equitable Kansas. 
• Humanities Kansas commits to creating safe spaces where all people of Kansas can share their stories and explore ideas free of intolerance.
• Humanities Kansas will provide resources so that the work for a more just and inclusive society in Kansas can continue.
