Dear Colleague | Congressional Support for Lewis-Houghton Initiative

John Lewis and Amory Houghton, prominent late members of Congress, enthusiastically supported The American Road.  To honor them, we have crafted an FY22 appropriations request entitled the Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative to support the Library of Congress to develop digitally-deliverd curricula in history  and civics using its extensive historical and cultural archives, including its Songs of America collection.  Rep. Bill Keating has led the way to sponsor and obtain bi-partisan support for this effort from nearly two dozen House Members, most of whom are cited in the linked Dear Colleague letter. On to the Senate!
