Educator Workshop | Twenty Years of Change in Chicago: 1963–83

Thursday, July 27

Join us at CHM for a hands-on session that explores activism for social change. Discover how advocates changed the trajectory of the city through three key events: the 1963 Chicago Public Schools boycott; the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Chicago; and the mayoral election of Harold Washington in 1983.

Build your content knowledge through CHM’s photographs, documents, and online exhibitions and leave with strategies and resources for your classroom instruction.

$35; 5 PD hours. Session includes a 1-hour lunch break. Recommended for middle and high school teachers.
