> "If one by one, hundreds of children learn the evils of hatred in history,
> then learn to face and change that hatred in their own world —through art,
> language, and service — and to begin to build communities of educated,
> committed citizens, who is to say that Facing History cannot be the catalyst
> for an end to prejudice, violence, and injustice?" —A Facing History
> student
>
> For 30 years, Facing History has been engaging students of diverse
> backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in
> order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By
> studying the historical development and lessons of the Holocaust and other
> examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history
> and the choices they confront in their own lives. ( www.facinghistory.org)

> The presentation will include an overview of Facing History's "scope and
> sequence" and a lesson from our newest resources on the Civil Rights
> Movement.
