"How can educators use history to help inform students about the treatment of gays and lesbians in the past and today, and how are schools responding to name-calling, bullying, ostracism, and outright violence against this community? In this session, participants will look at examples from history, including the treatment of homosexuals under the Nazi regime and during the civil rights movement."

"Join us as we explore the history of voting in the United States with a special emphasis on the gains and struggles during the civil rights movement. We will showcase Facing History resources that examine the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Selma March, voter registration drives, the role of non-violent protest and more. We will also investigate the impact of youth in the movement and their role in politics then and now."

From Facing History and Ourselves:

"We invite you to examine Facing History's new resource book on Eleanor Roosevelt and her role in the establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This book is part of Facing History's Making History series, a collection of case studies that illustrate how individuals and groups across the world can choose to make a difference in society, using tools available to anyone seeking to fight hatred, prevent genocide, and strengthen democracy. Civic education, often limited to instruction about the basic foundations of democratic governance, is enriched and deepened through these case studies, which reveal how the structures of civil society can be strengthened by individual action."

"'A growing number of historians now look at the Civil Rights Movement not just as something that happened in the 1960s, but as a historical process that spanned decades beginning in the World War II years or even earlier. While the African American freedom struggle is most remembered for its stirring sit-ins and other dramatic clashes to dismantle segregation in public accommodations and to win the vote, it has long had a strong economic and political focus, too. Among the topics the workshop will tackle are how and when the movement began; what demands it placed before the nation; the organizations that came into being and their strategies; how the movement changed between the 1930s and 1970s; and how the movement changed America."

From the National Humanities Center website:

"The Civil War destroyed the institution of slavery and transformed the United States socially, politically, economically, and artistically. Not only did the subject inspire some of the nation's best painters, sculptors, photographers, and illustrators, it also changed the face of town and countryside as monuments to soldiers and statesmen of the Civil War era spread across the landscape. This workshop will pay close attention not only to the imagery of battle but also to the social and political issues which shaped the image of the war and which in many respects continue to shape us today. How did artists come to grips with the new realities of warfare and the unprecedented scale of death it caused? How did the new media of that era (especially photography) change the way that war was represented and understood? What insights did artists offer into the social and political changes happening both on the homefront and battlefront? Did the memorialization of the war in public art create new understandings of the conflict or perpetuate old myths?"

From the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration website:

"Learn about key American photographers and photographic processes and styles, as well as how photography from 1839 to the present day relates to American history. Receive digital images, image guides, and other materials to make connections between photography's history and levels of language arts, science, social studies, and visual art."
