K-12 Educators' Workshop: History in Your Backyard: Remembrance and Commemoration

Saturday, January 5, 2019: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
Joliet Room (Hilton Chicago, Third Floor)

Organized with the Library of Congress

What is the relationship between remembrance and commemoration? What roles do monuments and memorials in our communities play in both reflecting our collective past and allowing us to engage with it? This interactive workshop will begin with a keynote by Adam Rothman, Georgetown University, on research he is conducting at the Library of Congress (LOC) as a Kluge Fellow. This will be followed by a primary source analysis workshop conducted by Rothman and Lee Ann Potter and Kaleena Black of the Library’s new Center for Learning, Literacy, and Engagement, drawing on documents in a variety of media from the collections of the Library.

No charge; because space is limited, free advance registration is required.
