This is sad. History day introduced me to all kinds of things, not least of which discovering archival materials. I read and cited to a book printed on a hand press in Yosemite Valley in the 1800s - at the time (in middle school) the oldest thing I’d ever handled.

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.
