This year’s cover reminds me of flying kites as a child with my father and later with my children. My son would watch and talk for hours, inspired by flights of imagination. Kite flying spans generations, and most of us have a memory of the first time we tangled one in a tree, or better, successfully launched one into the wind.

Like kite flyers, we at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities sometimes run against the wind to explore new horizons. In these days of diminishing resources, organizations must develop an entrepreneurial spirit to thrive. We encourage innovative, visionary thinking and — occasionally — risk-taking to bring ideas to life.

Using the humanities as a vehicle for community development is one example of entrepreneurial spirit. In Martinsville, Virginia, and communities along the Eastern Shore, VFH is helping areas

define themselves as unique places with valuable qualities — qualities that draw people together and attract new growth. In Martinsville, we are working with local organizations to revitalize Fayette Street, a once vibrant African American neighborhood and business district. Vintage photographs are being collected and preserved, and extensive oral histories are being recorded and documented. Along the Eastern Shore similar cooperation between cultural groups and other institutions is occurring. With VFH funding, the Chincoteague Island Library initiated a long-term effort to document, through research and the collection of oral histories, the disappearing cultural traditions of this wind-swept island. We look to extend community development projects in Southside and Southwest Virginia, while maintaining our close ties to Tidewater, Northern, and Central Virginia.

The Virginia Encyclopedia, a one-of-a-kind online resource about Virginia, is another example of an entrepreneurial effort by the VFH. Thanks to seed-funding provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia, a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and a private donor, VFH will launch this online guide to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.

When was the last time you fl ew a kite? VFH also views its participation in marking Jamestown’s 2007 commemoration as an opportunity to tell Virginia stories that capture Virginia’s entrepreneurial history. Both the encyclopedia and the anniversary will encourage Virginians and the world to visit and experience Virginia, either in person or through the web.

As we approach the 2007 observance and the introduction of the encyclopedia, VFH remains committed to the guiding principle that Virginia’s history should include as many perspectives as possible. We will not ignore nor discount the painful stories of Virginia’s past, nor will we dismiss issues in the present or concerns for the future.

To create programs that bring the humanities more fully into Virginia’s public life, we will continue to focus on our strengths in African American and Virginia Indian history and heritage, Virginia folklife and traditional culture, and books and literacy. This is our commitment to the future.

With wind, fl ight is achievable for the otherwise earthbound components of a kite — wood, paper, and twine. Likewise, funding and encouragement from VFH give ideas flight. That’s why we remain dedicated to bringing the spirit and diversity of Virginia culture to citizens of the Commonwealth.

The humanities help us to study the past, prepare for the

future, and create an environment

where new ideas are encouraged and

new ways of thinking are possible. The

humanities give wings to ideas.

The VFH Grant Program spans reading and literacy, science and technology, African American heritage, media and culture, student and teacher

outreach, Virginia folklife and traditional culture, and historical preservation, to

name only a few kinds of programs. VFH grants fund lectures, websites, concerts, documentaries, museum displays, and much more. In Irvington, the Steamboat Era Museum is collecting oral histories about steamboats in the Tidewater. With VFH funds, the Loudoun Heritage Farm Museum is creating an exhibit on the history of apple production in the

county and the changing character of Virginia’s rural life. This year, VFH also supported a traveling exhibit on the life and achievement of Mary Ellen Henderson, an influential educator and advocate for civil rights in Fairfax County; research and production costs for a pictorial history prepared by at-risk youth about 18 coal camps that

once flourished in Wise County; and a documentary on the experiences of the Vietnamese American community in Northern Virginia. Nine grants were also awarded in March to Virginia Indian tribes and inter-tribal organizations, including awards for the development of a documentary film on the history of the Commonwealth’s tribes and cultures, the establishment of a Virginia Indian Heritage Trail, and the creation of a brochure on the history and current status of the Chickahominy Indian Tribe.

Celebrating traditional music, dance, and craft is pivotal to the mission of the Virginia Folklife Program at the VFH. To nurture the next generation of folklife

artisans, this year the Folklife Apprentice Program supported nine apprentices in

such diverse skills as Tabla drumming, old-time banjo playing, and old-order Mennonite quilting.

Master Irish flute maker Patrick Olwell of Nellysford, Virginia designs Irish wooden flutes which are coveted

by some of Ireland’s finest musicians. Patrick works with numerous students to pass on his art, but none show the dedication to the craft better than his son and apprentice, Aaron. (A complete listing of 2004-2005 Apprentice Program participants is on page 6).

A goal of the Folklife Program is to increase public exposure and interpretation opportunities for Virginia’s rich folk traditions. This year, VFH funded the Carter Family Traditional Music Preservation Project in Hiltons, Virginia, recognized as one of the most important venues for the performance of traditional acoustic music native to the Central Appalachian region. The Folklife Program produced its first CD featuring traditional musicians from Southwest Virginia. The Folklife Program is also a partner in Richmond’s three-year presentation

of the National Folk Festival, a national multicultural festival to be held on the banks of the James River in October 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Virginians gain a better understanding

of the importance of traditions and

the challenges of preserving them in

our communities.

heritage

fellowsSince 1999, VFH has built an African American Heritage Program that raises the understanding

and interpretation of Virginia’s African American history through

programs such as the Fayette Area Historical Initia-tive in Martinsville, Virginia. With funding from the Harvest Foundation of Martinsville and the Public Welfare Foundation, based in Washington, D.C., this innovative partnership was formed to encourage local community development, drawing on local history in particular to help a community redefine itself.

Grants from VFH included an interpretative bro-chure and exhibit on

artifacts from the Jim Crow era at Norfolk State University and

educational outreach in Roanoke by two sur-

viving members of the Tuskegee Airmen. By

the end of 2005, VFH, in partnership

with Hampton University, will publish an updated catalog to accompany the exhibit “Don’t Grieve After Me: The Black Experience in Virginia, 1619-2001” that includes representative images of the African American experience. See grants list on page 14 for additional awards for African American History.

VFH is a special place to be a Fellow. It offers not only wonderful library privileges, but it also fosters an environment where scholars and staff come together for one-of-a-kind conversations.”

— Deborah A. Lee, historian and VFH fellow, and daughter Ann Lee, University of Virginia student and Virginia Festival of the Book intern

The VFH Resident Fellows Program supported 16 distinguished scholars this year. Their work, which

includes conducting research and completing book projects, is scholarship in the public

interest. This year’s projects included Deborah A. Lee’s examination of opposition to slavery in Northern Virginia, Tatiana van Riemsdijk’s focus on Chesapeake Evangelicals and their struggle between saving souls and solving slavery, and William W. Freehling’s book The Road to Disunion, Volume II: Secessionists Triumphant 1854-1861, which examines Southern secession. William Kelso, archeologist and director of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, completed a manuscript interpreting the discoveries at the site of early 17th century Jamestown. The Fellows program will mark its 20th anniversary in 2006 with several special events, including a reunion for the program’s more than 250 former Fellows. See page 20 for a complete listing of this year’s distin-guished Fellows and their work.

Listening and responding to the words of others is an important value

within the humanities.

The Institute on Violence and Survival is dedicated to writing, researching, and teaching about the long-term effects of violence and war. Survivor-centered research by Institute Fellows explores the aftermath of genocide in Guatemala, the long shadows of postwar in Peru and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and new refugee communities in the United States. Last November’s conference, Re-Imaging Peace After Massacres, focused on refugees and survivors from countries recently afflicted by massacres — East Congo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cambodia, and Guatemala. The two-week global conference held at VFH centered on the effects of violence, the difficulties of peace, and the rocky road to cultural healing. In the coming year, the

Institute will continue fieldwork resulting from the conference and will publish the next edition of Tough Times Companion, a compilation of short fiction, essays, photography, and poetry on surviving in difficult times, distributed to hospitals, shelters, prisons, treatment centers, as well as to individuals throughout Virginia.

The South Atlantic Humanities Center, a partner-ship with Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia, characterizes the entrepreneurial vision that defines VFH

programs. This collaborative effort furthers the humanities in the South

Atlantic United States, which includes Virginia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This year the Center held the inaugural meeting of its region-wide advisory board,

hosted the national consortium of regional humanities centers, and offered its first stand-alone public program, “The South Atlantic’s Changing Places: An Exploration in Poetry, Story, and Song.”

survival

teachingIn 2004, VFH once again hosted a NEH-funded Teacher Institute for 20 instructors seeking to add another

dimension to their teaching. This project brought together educators

for scholarly discussions, tours of historic sites, and independent research. Teachers from across the United States met in Charlottesville for one month to hone their studies of the transatlantic slave trade as part of a seminar series, “Roots: African Dimensions of the History and Cultures of the Americas.”

All VFH programs strive to reach the broadest possible public audience. Virginia’s only statewide weekly public radio program, With Good Reason, illuminates and entertains audiences with newsworthy and engaging features and interviews which explore topical issues such as space travel, papal succession, and archeological exploration, and religious tradition. By year end, the

show will have interviewed more than 1,000 faculty — representing every state-supported four-year college, university, and community college in the Commonwealth. Examples of future programming include presidential history and creative business strategies. The Re-Imagining Ireland conference, winner of the 2004 Helen and Martin Schwartz Prize from the Federation of State Humanities Councils, continues to attract new audiences. A documentary film featuring scholars, artists, poets, musicians, journalists, politicians, and others, from the conference has been televised across the United States and Ireland. In the fall of 2006 the University of Virginia Press will publish a book of essays resulting from the conference. In October 2005, VFH will debut the Humanities Feature Bureau, an exciting new component of VFH Media Programs, available to radio stations across the state, with a focus on issues, programs, and personalities of interest to citizens of the Commonwealth.

At VFH, written words form the foundation of the humanities. Giving Virginia’s citizens access to reading and literacy is a fundamental principle of the VFH Center for the Book. Through programs, events, and initiatives the Center encourages active, engaged reading throughout the Commonwealth.

Envision a father reading a book like The Carrot Seed to his son — a new experience for both child

and adult. In this story the carrot grows because the little boy takes care of it. After

completing the book, the father explores with the child the story’s deeper meaning — like the carrot, children need to be lovingly cared for by others. Books open a dialogue between adults and children about a wide range of issues: bullying, establishing independence, sharing, cooperating, and expressing needs and feelings, to name a few. This incredible interaction and countless others often occurs because of programs like the 2005 VFH-sponsored Motheread® and Fatheread® training seminar in Doswell, Virginia. Here 18 facilitators learned how to encourage parents to develop and demonstrate good reading and literacy skills, while sharing life lessons.

As a student in Charlottesville, novelist Tammar Laufer Stein regularly attended the Virginia Festival of the Book. This year she attended

as a published author. She states, “Those early experiences helped to inspire a passion in me.” The 11th annual Festival continued to inspire passion this year as it drew more than 300 authors, writers, and publishing professionals, as well as 22,800 attendees from across the state, the nation, and the world. Headliners included Malcolm Gladwell, Alexander McCall Smith, Linda Fairstein, and David Baldacci.

In January, VFH moved the Virginia Arts of the Book

Center to a spacious home just south of Charlottesville’s

expanding Downtown Mall. This new home

provides space for three letter and etching presses.

The enlarged exhibit and workshop space will allow

staff to offer demonstrations and classes to interested

community groups, and provide a bright and better

working environment for artists, poets, designers, and others interested in

humanities and the art of printing.

Thank you, Ellen Raskin, for trans- forming my life and my reading habits. Thanks to The Westing Game, I am a stronger, more confident human being. I also know now that tears shed over a good book are not wasted.” — Hannah Danielle Pierce

Hannah Danielle Pierce, an eleventh grade student from Radford, Virginia, garnered one of only six national first-place honors in the annual writing competition Letters About Literature, organized by the VFH Center for the Book in cooperation with the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and Target Stores. Pierce’s winning personal letter to author Ellen Raskin was selected from a pool of 46,000 entries.

Imagine an online reference where anyone can go with a question regarding all aspects of Virginia — a rich single source on a wide range of topics related

to the Commonwealth. In 2005, just such a resource began to take

shape at VFH. Set to debut in 2007, the Virginia Encyclopedia will chronicle the people, history, government, economy, and culture of Virginia. Designed to become the first point of reference for all

users interested in Virginia, the encyclopedia will be developed over a period of years, coordinated by a staff at VFH, and supported by more than a dozen section editors and hundreds of writers.
