Foertsch Receives NEH Summer Stipend

Jacqueline Foertsch has been awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend to support her current book project, provisionally titled Reckoning Day: Race, Place, and the Atom Bomb in Postwar America. Jacqueline's project, which examines African Americans' responses to the atom bomb in the post-WWII era, has been designated by the NEH as a “We the People” project and is being supported by funds the agency has set aside to “encourage and strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture.” The award provides support for two consecutive months of full-time research and writing.
