8:30-12:00pm: Teaching Workshop by Emilye Crosby (requires reservation)
The teaching workshop is designed to provide instruction and usable strategies and models for teachers to move beyond the traditional narrative and emphasize important movement themes, including the “organizing tradition” and “self-defense.”
It will utilize short readings in primary sources and the films, Mississippi Burning, Freedom Song, and Boycott , to teach about the Civil Rights Movement and to model strategies for teachers to use in their classrooms.
