"Deep bows of respect and gratitude for teachers
who stand for truth and freedom."

---- 2018 Donor

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Zinn Education Project in 2018. 

We could not provide free lessons for teachers
without your support.  

Didn't donate yet? It's not too late to help us reach 100,000
teachers in 2019. Donate today.

In the past year, we've increased our reach to support 12,000 more teachers; published new lessons about climate change, the Civil Rights Movement, Mexican American deportations, and Reconstruction; launched a new website with our "This Day in History" #TDIH digitized series; and continued to defend the teaching of people's history in the face of multiple attacks.

Many of the  National Endowment for the Humanities Teacher Summer Institutes have a peo ple's history focus. Apply by March 1.

There are also conferences of note, including the Teaching History Conference at UCLA, the Carter Center for K-12 Black History Education Conference at the University of Missouri, and many more. 

Applications to offer a workshop at the National Council for the Social Studies Conference  (NCSS) in Austin, Texas (Nov. 22-24) are due on March 3.

In The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, author Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that U.S. cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation. Housing segregation in the United States was not an accident ---- it was policy.

We want to hear stories from teachers who have taught about this topic using Rothstein's work. In appreciation for your stories, we'll send you a hard cover copy of the book.

To teach about a real national and international emergency, check out the lessons for middle and high schools in A People's Curriculum for the Earth: Teaching Climate Change and the Environmental Crisis, a Rethinking Schools publication edited by Bill Bigelow and Tim Swinehart.
