SUMMARY:Visions of America: All Stories\, All People\, All Places
DESCRIPTION:Visions of America HomeEpisodes \nPBS Books partnering with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)\, a federal government cultural grant-making agency\, to produce “Visions of America: All Stories\, All People\, All Places\,” a digital-first series of videos and conversations that explores our nation with a renewed interest in the places\, people\, and stories that have contributed to the America we live in today.  \nPBS Books is proud to present an interview with IMLS Director Crosby Kemper in anticipation of “Visions of America\,” which airs on PBS fall 2023. PBS Books host Heather Montilla sits down with Kemper to discuss America 250 and the importance of museums and libraries as places for the freedom of exchanging ideas and their essential roles in elevating American citizenry. \nIn addition\, there are two additional virtual conversations available\, which provide an opportunity for Americans to celebrate America250\, the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. \nAlso available on Facebook and Youtube. \n\nAmerica250 is a multiyear effort to commemorate the semiquincentennial\, or 250th anniversary\, of the U.S. This effort is being led at the national level by the non-partisan U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission\, created by Congress\, and its supporting nonprofit America250 Foundation. The commemoration period began in 2020\, culminates on July 4\, 2026\, and officially concludes in 2027. \nPBS Books host Heather Montilla sits down with Kemper to discuss America 250 and the importance of museums and libraries as places for the freedom of exchanging ideas and their essential roles in elevating American citizenry. \nBeginning in fall 2023\, IMLS Director Crosby Kemper will lead a video tour through three lesser-known historical sites that symbolize an aspect of the spirit of America’s independence. The half-hour episodes include notable historians and authors who will share the tales and themes that reverberate inside the walls of these institutions. Viewers will explore the cities these organizations call home to showcase what makes each of these communities so important to America’s identity.  \nKemper is the sixth director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. He was commissioned by the White House on January 24\, 2020\, following his confirmation by the United States Senate. IMLS\, an independent government agency\, is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s museums and libraries. \nKemper is a dedicated advocate for education and learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. He came to IMLS from the Kansas City Public Library\, where as director\, he established the library as one of the city’s leading cultural destinations and a hub of community engagement. Kemper also served as chair of the board of directors of the Schools\, Health\, & Libraries Broadband Coalition\, which supports open\, affordable broadband connections for local community organizations.  \nBeginning his IMLS tenure at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Kemper provided exceptional support and leadership to communities by elevating issues of pandemic impact\, poverty\, race\, and the digital divide as part of the IMLS grantmaking process. Understanding the urgent need\, Kemper delivered American Rescue Plan Act and CARES Act monies to grantees quickly and efficiently\, with a focus on community impact in a time of extreme dislocation. Under his leadership\, IMLS also created the REALM (REopening Archives\, Libraries\, and Museums) project using CARES Act funds\, a partnership to directly respond to the lack of information on the virus specifically for library and museum materials and spaces\, as well as to research protocols and procedures for reopening. \nAlong with leaders of fellow cultural agencies the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, Kemper is a member of the re-established President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities\, as well as the congressionally mandated Information Literacy Taskforce. \nHe is an ex officio member of the US Semiquincentennial Commission. As such\, he has engaged museum\, library\, and arts leaders in deep conversations about American history and the Semiquincentennial. He also launched IMLS’s 250 initiative\, “IMLS 250: All Stories. All People. All Places.” \nKemper’s full biography is available on the IMLS website.
