The Zinn Education Project team will be at the National Council for the Social Studies Conference in Boston on November 22–23, 2024.
We have a booth in the exhibit area and we are offering a number of workshops, listed below. In the exhibit booth, we’ll have information about our Reconstruction report, Teach Climate Justice campaign, Teaching for Black Lives study groups, and all our people’s history lessons. There will also be resources from the two coordinating organizations, Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change. Visitors can take a photo with our #TeachTruth frame and/or record comments in our story booth.
Let us know if you plan to attend. We’d love to meet up with you there.
