Don't Miss Your Chance to Be Part of History!

ARLINGTON, Va. - Rezul -- Founded by David Bruce Smith and the late Dr. Bruce Cole, the Grateful American Book Prize seeks to promote engagement with American history among young readers.

According to Smith, the teaching of history has declined in recent decades, leaving many young people unfamiliar with foundational figures such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. In response, and in partnership with the late Dr. Bruce Cole, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Prize was established to inspire historical literacy. As Dr. Cole observed, "we are a country of historical amnesiacs," and engaging books may help address this challenge.
