Acknowledgements

The American Antiquarian Society would like to acknowledge the following organizations and individuals who have made generous commitments of their ideas, time, funding, and support in order to make this project possible. These acknowledgements come in two sections. First, we would like to acknowledge those who are providing support for Isaiah's 2012 tour. Second, we would like to thank those who originally supported and developed Isaiah Thomas - Patriot Printer in its beginnings in 1999.

2012 Tour

Through a collaboration between the American Antiquarian Society and CultureLEAP (Learning through Education and Arts Partnerships), Isaiah Thomas - Patriot Printer will be performed for every 5th grade classroom in the Worcester Public Schools from January to March 2012. This is being done with the support of AAS staff, volunteers, and the generous funding of other organizations through grants awarded to CultureLEAP.
