From Alabama Humanities:

This six-day, interdisciplinary teachers' institute will explore African Americans' attempts to achieve full equality in Alabama and neighboring Southern states. Resident scholars will assist participants in determining, assessing, and articulating the continued importance of past human and civil rights successes in Alabama—and elsewhere in the South.

From the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum:

Staff from George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens will join with staff from the Truman Library to present this unique workshop. Both Presidents Washington and Truman will come under close scrutiny as their early life, influences, military careers, and presidency will be compared. Themes include leadership, character, decision making, and handling crises. A reenactor from the Washington era will also be present!

This two-day workshop will be a one-time offering and numerous primary sources and ready-to-use teaching materials will be supplied. In addition to excellent content, teaching strategies and methods will be discussed.

"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."

From the Florida Humanities Council website:

"Daily life in Eatonville was recounted in Hurston's first fieldwork as an anthropologist. Her best known folklore collection, Mules and Men (1935), included black music, games, oral lore, and religious practices reflective of her early life growing up in Eatonville. Hurston's ethnographic study of her racial heritage influenced several Harlem Renaissance writers, and later such contemporary authors as Alice Walker and Toni Morrison.

"Eatonville provides a fascinating vantage point for examining black life and social structures in the South after the Civil War. To paraphrase Hurston, how did these self-governed Negro towns differ from the 'black back-side of some white-folks' town?' Is it merely coincidental that this historic town brought forth one of America's most fascinating and provocative writers, a writer who provides us with a new perspective on race?

"These weeklong seminars will bring together a distinguished team of humanities scholars who will provide an interdisciplinary exploration of Hurston's life and work. They include a literary scholar who has written extensively on Hurston; a folklorist who wrote the application that placed Eatonville on the Historic Register; a Hurston biographer; the director of the American Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress, where most of Hurston's folklife collection resides; and a colleague of Hurston's in the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Participants will examine Hurston's accomplishments within the context of the historical and cultural development of the Eatonville community. They will grapple with compelling questions about how this unique black enclave fueled Hurston's appreciation of folk culture, inspired her literary works, created her racial identity, and formed her sometimes controversial views on race."
