The toll-free Humanities Hotline delivers interesting short stories anytime, day or night. It’s simple: Dial 1-888-416-2018 and choose from a menu of humanities highlights. These bite-sized micropresentations cover Kansas stories – both serious and light-hearted – and are researched and presented by experts across the state.
Choose from one of the following current Humanities Hotline options or listen to all four:
University of Kansas English Professor Emeritus John Edgar Tidwell reads “Who but the Lord” a poem by Langston Hughes.
Audrey Coleman, Associate Director of the Dole Institute of Politics and Director of the Dole Institute Archives and Museum, tells the story of “A Picnic for a President–in 24 Hours or Less.”
Prisca Barnes, Founder and CEO of Storytime Village, recounts the story of the 1958 Dockum Drugstore Sit-in.
Erin Raux, Curator at the Mid-America All-Indian Center, shares a little bit about the history of the Native American vote.
