"Come join us and explore thousands of years of Pueblo history as we interact with American Indian scholars, excavate at the Goodman Point Unit of Hovenweep National Monument, conduct laboratory analyses with prominent archaeologists, and study three very important landmarks—Mesa Verde National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Goodman Point Unit of Hovenweep National Monument, and Sand Canyon Pueblo in the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. These places and activities will show you how American Indians, anthropologists, and archaeologists work together to provide a full picture of Pueblo history and culture."

"During this one-week workshop . . . [participants will] walk the streets that Franklin walked, step through the doorways that he knew, and see the buildings where he helped found the United States. We'll explore the many rooms of Benjamin Franklin's mind: writer, civic leader, politician, diplomat, scientist, and revolutionary were just some of the titles that Franklin assumed during his eighty-four years. We'll read Franklin's words—published and personal—and those of men and women who lived in the era."

"While participating in our workshop in Atlanta, you will visit the sites where Civil Rights history was made. We have assembled a group of nationally known scholars who will share stories of the Civil Rights movement that reshaped the city, the region, and the nation. You will learn how to use Atlanta's historic sites to bring the Civil Rights Movement alive to your students.
"It was here in Atlanta in 1895 that Booker T. Washington delivered his 'Atlanta Compromise' address at the Cotton States and International Exposition. Eight years later in The Souls of Black Folk, Atlanta University professor W. E. B. DuBois predicted that the 'problem of the Twentieth Century [would be] the problem of the color line.' When Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on Auburn Avenue, a racial divide relegated African Americans to a second class status. Dr. King grew up to challenge the color line and make Atlanta the capital of a Civil Rights Movement that ended legalized segregation in America.
"Workshop field trips will take you to Piedmont Park where Booker T. Washington delivered his 'Atlanta Compromise' address and to Atlanta University where W. E. B. DuBois penned The Souls of Black Folk. Workshop scholars will lead you in the footsteps of Dr. King as he played in his childhood home, attended Morehouse College, pastored Ebenezer Baptist Church, and now is buried on Auburn Avenue with his wife Coretta.
"The historic landmarks that you will visit reveal the history of a segregated society and the struggle to dismantle it. The gold-domed Capitol building is where Jim Crow laws were passed and where African Americans protested their passage. The Fox Theater bears the imprint of the color line, with separate entrances, seating, and rest rooms for black and white theater goers. The downtown Rich's Department Store and City Hall are facilities, once segregated, which still carry the imprints of their Civil Rights battles. The roots of resistance to the color line began on Auburn Avenue, the historic heart of the African American business, civic, and religious communities, and on the Atlanta University Center campuses where students organized sit-ins and demonstrations in the 1960s. Atlanta has memorialized these events at the sites where Civil Rights history was made."

From the Appalachian State University website:
"We invite you to take part in this historic commemoration year by attending this workshop sponsored by Appalachian State University, which is located less than five miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Boone, North Carolina. Participants will have a chance to experience the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains while learning about the history behind the most visited National Park Service site. Based on the campus of Appalachian State University, participants will spend mornings in combination lecture and discussions along with hands-on sessions working with a variety of primary sources. Each participant will have a chance to collect materials and ideas for use in developing curriculum projects. Each afternoon, we will take field trips to explore many of the cultural resources along the Parkway. Evenings will be free to explore the Appalachian Mountain town of Boone, work in the state of the art library, or relax at one of the many local coffee shops while enjoying some traditional Appalachian music. Throughout the week, participants will have many chances to interact with faculty who are experts on the history of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the region of Appalachia as well as meet rangers and managers from the National Park Service."
