Civil Rights History Initiatives
PRRAC is committed to promoting a deeper public understanding of our country’s history of racial oppression, and the ways in which that history is embedded in and perpetuated by current institutions and practices. At the same time, an appreciation of the history of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-twentieth century can be an inspiration to current activists, as we see echoes and reflections of our work in present day justice movements.
We are co-publishers, with Teaching for Change, of this award-winning 500+ page civil rights teaching guide, which stresses the contributions of rank and file activists, and the relation of the Civil Rights Movement to contemporary organizing struggles. The goal is to help empower students and to connect the Movement with present day issues in their communities. We are now planning a series of regional teacher and community workshops to be facilitated by the contributing authors and editors, with the goal of bringing together teachers, local activists, parent leaders, and students to discuss the themes of the book in relation to local issues. |
