How did the experience of being forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated affect the choices made by people of Japanese ancestry as they responded to the government’s call for loyalty?
Mark your calendar for workshop–We Are All Americans. We Are All Americans is a multi-media inquiry curricula for teachers of grades 4 to 5. Our goal is to provide curricula that prompts students to ask questions, to discern how and use evidence to support claims, and to immerse themselves in the practice of historical thinking as they learn independently and through collaborations with their peers. We want students to explore the decisions faced by people of Japanese ancestry including the youth when confined in the WRA Centers and DOJ internment camps.
Join your colleagues for open-ended inquiry into what it means to be American – then and now. Why did some individuals believe civil rights should be restored before service, while others were committed to proving themselves to gain back civil rights?
Please join us in a teacher workshop either on Wednesday, June 23 or Saturday June 26 for a 3 hour and 30 minutes interactive workshops live online. See page 3 for more details.
The project was funded in part, by the California Civil Liberties Act.
