On
September 17 we celebrate Constitution Day. This remembrance
of September 17, 1787 provides an important opportunity
to reflect on the values that shape our democracy. These
values are echoed in the National Foundation on the
Arts and Humanities Act – the Act that authorizes
the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment
for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and
Library Services. It reads, “Democracy demands
wisdom and vision in its citizens. It must therefore
foster and support a form of education and access to
the arts and the humanities designed to make people
of all backgrounds and wherever located masters of their
technology and not its unthinking servants.”
