JACKSON, MS \u2013 July 8, 2024 <\/strong>\u2013 National History Day<\/a>\u00ae (NHD), in partnership with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History<\/a> (MDAH) and the National Endowment for the Humanities, is proud to announce Freedom Summer: 60 Years Later<\/em>, a Landmarks of American History<\/a> teacher workshop. In 1964 during the Civil Rights Movement, Freedom Summer was an effort to increase voter registration of Black Mississippians, teach civil rights-focused lessons to Mississippi students, and draw national attention to the violent suppression tactics that activists faced. Now, 60 years later, 70 teachers and museum educators will learn about the impact and legacy of Freedom Summer both on-site at MDAH\u2019s headquarters in Jackson and in other towns in Mississippi through site visits, primary source study, and sessions with civil rights activists such as Leslie-Burl McLemore. <\/p>\n\n

The teacher workshops will take place July 8-12 and July 22-26, 2024, with 35 teachers and museum educators attending each session. NHD and MDAH received over 330 applications for 70 spots; a team of historians and educators reviewed applications and selected attendees from across the United States based on their interest in the subject and plan to integrate the workshop\u2019s content into their classrooms and curriculum.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cNational History Day\u2019s 2024 contest program asked students to explore topics of Turning Points in History<\/em>, and Freedom Summer certainly marked a turning point for Mississippians and all Americans,\u201d said Dr. Cathy Gorn, Executive Director of National History Day. \u201cThe teachers and museum educators selected for this Landmarks of American History teacher workshop on Freedom Summer and its impact 60 years later will study its legacy firsthand and be better prepared to teach and think critically about civil rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

“MDAH is excited to welcome teachers and museum professionals from across the nation to learn about and celebrate the accomplishments of Freedom Summer during its 60th anniversary. We are thrilled to host the attendees across the Mississippi Delta, Jackson, McComb, and Natchez to experience place-based learning about Freedom Summer,” said Al Wheat, Director of Education at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. “Attendees will hear the stories of Fannie Lou Hamer, Amzie Moore, Bob Moses, and more while retracing their footsteps throughout the state. Working with our friends at NHD is great value-added for the attendees and we are thankful to the National Endowment for the Humanities for allowing us to host this Landmarks of American History Teacher Institute. It will be an unforgettable experience for all involved.”<\/p>\n\n
