What We Do:
Facing History & Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to racism, antisemitism, and other forms of bigotry and hate.
Our classroom resources and professional development offerings examine racism, antisemitism, and prejudice at pivotal moments in history; we help students learn about the impact of choices made in the past, and connect them to the choices they will confront in their own lives. Facing our shared history and how it informs our attitudes and behaviors allows us to choose a world of equity and justice.
Our Values:
We create space for each other. We seek out and learn from diverse experiences and perspectives.
We are curious. We ask big questions, create connections, and dig into the complexity of our actions and behaviors, past and present.
We listen first and listen actively. We consider listening a practice and skill, not just an activity.
We act with empathy and kindness. We work to understand others and build a world where everyone feels they belong.
We stand up. We recognize injustice and speak up when we see it.
