This #ElectionDay we’re reflecting on the history of voting. A few months ago, we reached an important milestone marking 100 years since women earned the right to vote - and though it took decades for Black and Indigenous women to also emerge as powerful electorate - that summer in 1920 forever changed the lives of women. Take a virtual tour of our “Women: A Century of Change” exhibition and make sure to #vote. http://www.nationalgeographic.org/events/visit/women-vr/

National Geographic Education

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?”

Today is #WomensEqualityDay, the day when the 19th amendment—giving women the right to vote—was officially certified.

How to Use Storytelling to Build and Engage Audiences

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.

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.
