We encourage and utilize a range of creative expression, which demonstrates the necessity and vitality of multiple perspectives on and approaches to understanding our humanity. Books are not the only way to understand and access Truth. Project Humanities Founding Director Dr. Neal Lester explains how and why artifacts are just as important tools of social justice as are books.
