Florida Humanities
On September 29, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act into law.

The NEH soon realized the immense challenge of its mission. To respond more effectively to local needs, the NEH decided to establish a humanities council in every state, plus six U.S. territories. The Florida Humanities was established in 1973.
