The Armenian Genocide Education Act directs the Librarian of Congress to establish and operate a program supporting Armenian Genocide education initiatives. This program aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide, which involved the systematic mass murder and cultural erasure of Armenians and other Christians, and to actively combat its denial and distortion. The bill underscores the national imperative to educate students on these historical crimes to prevent future atrocities and counter destructive messages of hate. The program's core activities include the development and national dissemination of accurate, relevant, and accessible educational resources , encompassing digital, print, and traveling exhibitions. It will also establish and implement sound pedagogical principles for teaching about the Armenian Genocide and provide professional development services for educators, including workshops, teacher trainings, and a teacher fellowship program. Additionally, the Librarian will maintain a dedicated online section on the Library of Congress website, offering educational resources and best practices for educators. The Librarian of Congress may enter into agreements with eligible educational entities, prioritizing those that currently do not offer Armenian Genocide education programs. The Act authorizes the acceptance of private donations into a dedicated gift account to support these activities and appropriates $2,000,000 annually for fiscal year 2026 and the subsequent four fiscal years, requiring an annual report to Congress.
