Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate. They create professional development and classroom resources for educators.
“Facing History helps students connect choices made in the past to those they will confront in their own lives. Our resources address racism, antisemitism, and prejudice at pivotal moments in history.”
