What’s new at MHC?
I am! My name is Phoebe Stein Davis, and I am the new Executive Director of the Maryland Humanities Council. I am thrilled to be here for so many reasons. First, as a native Marylander I’m happy to be back home; I grew up in Montgomery County. More importantly, I am excited and energized by the work of MHC.
Because of MHC, thousands of Marylanders are reading and discussing the same book as part of our One Maryland One Book program, middle school and high school students are making documentary films about important historical movements at History Day, healthcare workers are reflecting on their work through reading and discussion in Literature & Medicine, neighbors are gathering to talk about race in their communities through our Community Conversations, and your local library is hosting free presentations by enthusiastic and knowledgeable artists, performers, and educators through our Speakers Bureau program.
Please join us! Find out how you can take advantage of our free educational programs and grant opportunities by exploring our website, calling 410-685-0095, or emailing info@mdhc.org.
I look forward to seeing you at our programs soon!

Dear Ms. Stein Davis,
Congratulations on your new position with the Maryland Humanities Council. I enjoyed hearing you highlight the wonderful, upcoming Maryland Humanities Council programs and One Book initiative featuring the book, A Hope in the Unseen, by Ron Suskind.
My fifteen year old son and I were both inspired by Cedric Jenning’s witty and informed lecture
on life and overcoming obstacles. Mr. Jenning’s is truly a wonderful role model.
Thank you and the Humanities staff for a wonderful One Book launch at the Montgomery College, Peck Center, August 19, 2008. I look forward to attending future Humanities programs in Prince George’s County Maryland.
