The March on Washington is Friday — are you planning to incorporate it into your lesson plans? History teacher Amy Trenkle says the key is putting the March in context for students:
“This is a teachable moment. With so much going on now, it’s so relevant and we are able to draw history in so easily. How are we remembering the March and thinking about it in relation to what we are doing today? You could have a lesson that looks at key figures; another time you could look at key events; and another time you could look through a geographical lens. When you make connections to another part of history and actions of others in time and space, it’s powerful for both teachers and students.
It’s also a great time to explore what marches have taken place in students’ communities and/or states….what were the issues? Why were marches needed? What are the details of the marches? Were they successful? And ultimately, asking students, what would THEY march for? What is a topic that would get them on their feet and moving?”

The American Alliance of Museums interviewed our Museum Director, Kathryn Keane about the importance of storytelling. Keane says, "The artifacts themselves don’t tell the story. We must build stories around them." We want our exhibitions to resonate with our visitors beyond our doors and most of all we want visitors to feel welcome. Lifelong learners want to know they have a place to go, and we can't wait to welcome you back once it's safe to do so.
