Armenian Genocide Education Act
S 1329, the Armenian Genocide Education Act, establishes a program through the Librarian of Congress to support K-12 education about the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide. The program develops and distributes educational resources (including digital tools and print materials), provides teacher training through workshops and fellowships, and maintains an online resource hub on the Library of Congress website. It directly affects local school districts, independent schools, and educational organizations that adopt the program’s materials into their curricula. The program is funded with $2 million annually for five years, requiring the Librarian to submit annual reports on its implementation.
