The Ethics of Public Memory: Professional Development for Educators
This half-day professional development workshop was offered in June 2019. Attendees explored a unique way to teach about the Civil War, racism, and slavery while considering how perception and public memory evolves over time. Participants learned from teachers who have used the curriculum and plan a student-centered civic project to reimagine a memorial or monument.
