The Humanities Educator Award this year went to an organization whose work moves beyond the classroom and uses innovative techniques and formats to reach a wide audience with the ideas and techniques of the humanities. In recognizing the Communities in Schools of Greenwood Leflore, Inc. (CIS) for this year's award, the committee cites their success in hosting multiple Mississippi Humanities Council Family Reading Bonds programs in the Mississippi Delta.
