Critical Conversations: Preparing Young Americans for Citizenship

Описание: Join us for a series of virtual community discussions inspired by the legacy of the US Constitution and the themes behind our free exhibition We the People: The Radical Notion of Democracy. Become part of the conversation, share your thoughts on constitutional issues that affect us all, and hear from thought leaders in civic organizations from across the nation.

For October 2022, we partnered with the Clinton Presidential Center (composed of the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, the Clinton Foundation, and the Clinton School of Public Service) to explore just how to prepare young Americans for citizenship in the modern world. We’ll hear from Jay Barth, Director of the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum; Prof. Justin Driver, Robert R. Slaughter Professor of Law at Yale Law School and award-winning author of The Schoolhouse Gate: Public Education, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for the American Mind; Fernande Raine, entrepreneur and founder of The History Co:Lab; Wesley Hedgepeth, President-Elect of the National Council for the Social Studies; and educator Shannon Salter as we dive into how we need to rethink civics curricula at every level of our education system, what the appropriate rights of students in school settings are, and how classrooms might best deal with historical events that touch on our lives today.
