A two-week institute for thirty school teachers on the “long civil rights movement” from the Civil War to today.

Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) and Yale University propose a two-week institute for school teachers entitled “The Long Civil Rights Movement: Unfinished Business and Enduring Legacies.” The program will be held at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut in July 2018. This institute is designed for K-12 teachers interested in looking broadening their current understanding of the Civil Rights Movement, enhancing their teaching of this period in American history, and applying the lessons learned from the Civil Rights Movement to the issues pervading national life today.
