Exploring Civil Rights History teacher workshop

Explore new primary source sets illuminating 19th-century Black civil rights from the collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Library of Congress. Showing how ideas and news shaped Black communities across the nation, this two-part workshop helps educators dive into the related records. It also equips participants with research skills to uncover local stories of activism, while demonstrating how these source sets can spark deeper civic learning.

This project has been made possible in part by funding from the Library of Congress Teaching With Primary Sources Eastern Region Program, coordinated by Waynesburg University.
