Ending this weeks conference with Jemima Boone. From surviving her 1776 kidnapping to contributing to the settlement and development of Kentucky, her story reflects the courage, resilience, and determination demonstrated by women on the American frontier. #KEDCgrants @KEDCGrants

My favorite presenter at the KEDC summer conference. I think I could listen to him tell stories all day long! @marvbartlett56 #KEDCgrants @passport2lead @KEDCGrants

🎵✊ One of the most fascinating sessions at the 2026 KEDC Summer Conference explored the powerful connection between The Beatles and the American Civil Rights Movement. #KEDCgrants. @KEDCGrants @passport2lead

Virgil Covington, Jr. captivated the audience with his charismatic portrayal of William Wells Brown, the first published African American novelist and playwright. Through powerful storytelling he brought Brown’s remarkable journey and legacy to life. #KEDCgrants @passport2lead

I loved this mornings session with Mary Todd Lincoln. She told us of her Kentucky roots, life with Abraham Lincoln, the challenges of the Civil War, and the personal losses she endured. #KEDCgrants @passport2lead @KEDCGrants

Learning about the 14th Amendment and how it changed the course of United States history, and applied our rights of citizenship, due process, and equal protection on a national basis. #KEDCgrants @KEDCGrants @passport2lead

Charles Young, the third African American graduate of West Point and an American hero from Kentucky. Michael Jones brought Young’s story to life. His performance captured the courage of Colonel Young, making history feel personal and unforgettable! @passport2lead #KEDCgrants

Not only did I get Gary L Gregg’s new book, but he signed it too!! #KEDCgrants @KEDCGrants @passport2lead

2026 KEDC Grants Summer Conference! The Faces of George Washington presented by Gary L. Gregg, offered a fascinating look at Washington’s journey as a citizen, soldier, and statesman. #KEDCgrants @passport2lead @KEDCGrants
