20 ANNUAL 20 REPORT

humanities.org A message from the Executive Director...

The year 2020 was a difficult one, with pain, loss, and disruption serving as the backdrop of the collective human experience. It was one of those rare periods where everyone shared varying versions of the same anxiety and grief.

As a humanities organization we provide ’s communities with opportunities to find common ground through shared experiences. COVID-19 was an unprecedented shared experience and, just as the world was beginning to understand the enormity and duration of the pandemic, our nation also began to reckon with, deeply and on a massive scale, the degree to which racial inequality still affects Black and Indigenous peoples as well as other people of color. Our programming last year responded to these dual concerns, helping people find meaning, context, and solace in the humanities.

To all of our donors and partners who helped us during such a hard time: we are grateful for your support. As we continue to find a path forward through uncertain times, I can look back on 2020 knowing that, with your help, Humanities Washington met head-on the challenges that our communities faced. Thank you.

With gratitude,

Julie Ziegler 2020 In Review: Cabin Fever Questions

Washington was the first state in the United States to be affected by COVID-19, and as one of 56 state and territorial humanities councils all sharing similar missions, we knew we had a unique opportunity to lead—to show how a council can help its communities through a crisis using the humanities. To help people process what was happening, Humanities Washington created Cabin Fever Questions.

Distributed several times per week on social media and email, Cabin Fever Questions provided humanities-based discussion topics and resources for our lives in quarantine. We asked such questions as, “How do you define happiness?” and, “How do we remain informed without feeling overwhelmed?” Each question was paired with readings to expand the discussion. For parents struggling to keep kids engaged and occupied in the absence of school, we created Cabin Fever Kids, which featured deep questions about children’s books that parents could discuss with their kids.

The response was tremendous, and the project was awarded a Schwartz Prize from the Federation of State Humanities Councils—the highest honor a council can receive. But the reaction to Cabin Fever Questions is perhaps best summarized in one reader’s feedback: “Now THIS is the kind of email I want to get in these challenging times.”

As an organization that loves bringing people together, it’s hard to be asked to keep people apart. In a typical year, we hold more than 400 events with our partners, and the pandemic required us to leave the in-person connections we value behind. Challenging though it was, we leaned in to the opportunity. For the first time, anyone, anywhere could attend a Speakers Bureau event or panel discussion. Further, the year’s struggles, from the pandemic to protests to a contentious election, provided fertile ground for discussion and connection. In addition to events on race and equity (detailed in our “Equity” section), Humanities Washington also organized important discussions including, “Envy and Resentment in the Time of Coronavirus,” “Democracy’s Ghosts: Fear and Hope in the 2020 Election,” “Set in Stone: What Should We Do with Controversial Monuments?” and “Is the Internet Making Us Miserable?”

In total, we pivoted to presenting over 150 online events in 2020. This format presented Engaging our community with compelling content available on YouTube and other an opportunity: for the first time, people from different areas of the state and different social media platforms. walks of life came together over important conversations to share unique experiences. It’s a format we are excited to continue to offer.

“This was fascinating, informative, helpful. Really opened my eyes to my own lack of understanding, fear, and prejudice. Thank you!” – Speakers Bureau event attendee Our country was founded on the ideal that all are created equal, but equality and justice have been tragically absent for many throughout our country’s Equity 400-year history. In 2020, the murder of George Floyd prompted an overdue reckoning with our country’s long history of racial injustice and violence.

In solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, Humanities Washington made three promises that clarified and expanded upon our previous equity efforts.

Continue investigating the privilege we have access to as individuals and as an organization in order to further embed racial equity into our work.

In the summer of 2020 we enlisted the help of FutureWorkDesign, consultants who recognize that organizations are built on outdated structures, to help us understand our own strengths and weaknesses as we work toward being a more inclusive organization. We consulted with our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee on how best to show our support for the protests. Also, in preparation for the search for our next Poet Laureate, Humanities Washington and ArtsWA re-examined the program’s guidelines and structure through an equity lens. After seeking feedback via focus groups, surveys, and interviews we made significant adjustments to the application process and clarified expectations for future Laureates. The result was a much more racially and geographically diverse pool of applicants for the Poet Laureate program than in any other application cycle in the program’s history.

Further amplify the voices and projects of Black scholars, tradition bearers, journalists, and activists.

We held livestreamed and recorded events in the summer and fall addressing questions of racism, equity, and protest, featuring various Black, Indigenous and People of Color scholars and activists, including “Law and Disorder: Police Violence and Race in America,” “Game Over: Sports Leagues and the Politics of Protest,” “Hip Hop and Protest,” and “Harm and Healing: An Online Community Gathering about Race, Health, and Protest,” all of which helped audiences grapple with the commonality of racism and the urgency and meaning of the summer’s events. Equity

Utilize the power of the humanities, through accurate representation of history and culture, to foster justice and equity in our communities.

The programs we bring across the state must embody our state, and be presented by a variety of voices to ensure that we are accurately depicting our history in all its complexity. To that end, we expanded our efforts to recruit more BIPOC speakers for our 2021-2023 Speakers Bureau roster. While BIPOC representation on Speakers Bureau increased from 39% to 46% over the previous roster, we have pledged to continue recruiting diverse speakers even during the roster’s cycle to ensure more of Washington’s voices are represented.

We also revamped our Prime Time Family Reading program to include books from a wider variety of perspectives to help more children see themselves and their cultures in the stories they were reading. We also presented more bilingual Prime Time programming, with one in every four Prime Time Family Reading sessions being presented in Spanish and English before the pandemic.

This work, important though it was, is only the beginning for Humanities Washington as we re-envision our organization’s anti-racism efforts in the light of 2020’s world-changing calls for racial justice. By the Numbers 2020 Humanities Washington Stats Program Attendance:
