Civil Rights Workshop: The Power of the Vote
Join us as we explore the history of voting in the United States with a special emphasis on the gains and struggles during the civil rights movement. We will showcase Facing History resources that examine the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Selma March, voter registration drives, the role of non-violent protest and more. We will also investigate the impact of youth in the movement and their role in politics then and now.
Attendance at this workshop qualifies participants to become a member of the Facing History and Ourselves network with access to our full
lending library which includes our extensive collection of DVDs, videotapes, multimedia resources, class sets of books, and other materials that coordinate with the key themes of the Facing History and Ourselves program.
