The West Virginia Humanities Council established the Sesquicentennial Speakers Bureau in 2011 to help organizations around the state learn about the Civil War and observe the sesquicentennial period. The bureau provided respected Civil War and West Virginia scholars speaking on interesting topics related to the war and our statehood movement.
For 2012 the bureau has added two new speakers and four new lecture topics.
Speakers are available for presentations through Oct. 31. The Humanities Council pays the fees and expenses of the speakers and provides promotional assistance for each program.
