Thank you, @ValerieFoushee, for visiting the Center yesterday to speak with this year's fellowship class.

It was great speaking to fellows with @NatlHumanities to discuss the state of our democracy and federal funding cuts. Cuts proposed by this Administration create uncertainty for many Americans working in humanities, and I will continue to fight to counter these actions.
