Explore new ways to teach the Civil Rights Movement by centering the people who made it possible, especially young people, women, and community organizers. Through lessons, poetry, film clips, primary sources, and classroom-ready activities, participants will examine the struggle for voting rights and its connections to contemporary voter suppression. Designed for K-12 social studies and language arts educators, this interactive workshop includes free teaching materials. Participants will leave with classroom-ready lessons, resources, and strategies they can bring into their teaching.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
