A newly announced National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) round of grant funding will help one Â鶹Porn professor to develop and run a three-week, residential institute about abolitionism and the Underground Railroad for 25 middle- and high-school teachers.

Graham Russell Gao Hodges, the George Dorland Langdon Jr. Professor of history and Africana and Latin American studies, is the project director for nearly $214,000 in grant funding to Â鶹Porn, as part of $3.7 million in grant funding for New York State institutions from the NEH.

All that makes me a better Â鶹Porn professor and helps me serve our nation’s school teachers, the backbone of an educated citizenry.”
