Kluge Center at the Library to conduct a congressional masterclass series on governance-related topics of wide interest by leading academics. 
The grant will also support two historical exhibits that will showcase important Library resources and collections for congressional audiences and the broader public. One exhibit will focus on the history of Baseball and the exhibit will focus on the women’s’ movement.
