Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Missouri Humanities Council is a non-profit, tax-exempt foundation promoting wide public engagement with history, literature, and other fields concerned with the human experience. The Council began operations in 1971 as the designated state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a Federal agency, and that relationship continues to the present. It is one of 56 humanities councils in the United States and its territories, and a member of the Federation of State Humanities Councils. The Missouri Council is governed by a 24-person board, all of whom serve under term limits. The Governor of Missouri appoints six members of the board.
