Smithsonian Education | Civil Intersections: Asian Latino Solidarity Movements and Cross Cultural Dialogue @SmithsonianEducation | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Join us to learn about a new resource kit, developed by the Smithsonian Latino Center and Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, which applies the story of the Farmworkers’ Movement as a case study for how civil discourse can take place in the classroom. Together, we’ll explore the context of the movement and its organizers, their important role in American history, the present-day impact of this history, and how you can access primary source materials to learn more about the movement and who shaped it. The resource kit includes first-voice primary source materials, activities and conversation starters, and a guide featuring the six-step methodology for middle school and high school teachers to build new skills on culturally responsive teaching, and capacity for student-centered civil discourse on equity, belonging, and identity.
Presenters: Emily Key and Andrea Kim Neighbors
