The Idea Book for Educators
HISTORY ® , the Library of Congress, and Newman’s Own Foundation are proud to join in commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. This landmark legislation advanced equality in American society and pushed the nation to live up to its democratic principles in all sectors of society. This special edition of The Idea Book is a companion to the Library of Congress exhibition, The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom. It features ideas for teaching with primary sources. The exhibition and teaching materials serve as a powerful testimony to the people who truly made history through their successful efforts to achieve this extraordinary milestone in Civil Rights history.
Dr. Libby O’Connell Chief Historian, SVP Corporate Outreach, HISTORY®
Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress
Robert H. Forrester President and CEO, Newman’s Own Foundation
SELF-CARE CORNER
"The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer someone else up."
- Mark Twain
Kindness has a ripple effect. What small gestures of kindness can you do this month? What things do you appreciate about your colleagues, students, or parents?
Find, Remind and Bind: Find things we're appreciate of in people we're close to and remind them that we appreciate these things. This will further bind our relationships.
