Greetings!
During the month of February, Teaching for Change will promote the importance of teaching Black History all year with Ask me about: 1963 commemorative buttons.
 Why 1963? The year 1963 was pivotal to the Civil Rights Movement. It is often recalled as the year of the "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, but much more transpired.
Why the buttons? Because Black History is U.S. History and should not be reduced to the few names and events that are recycled in classrooms and the media every year during Black History Month. Make a donation to Teaching for Change in the month of February and receive your button commemorating the 50th Anniversaries of 1963 and the importance of teaching Black History all year long. The button features an image of Medgar Evers, a key figure in the Jackson Movement and in the desegregation of the University of Mississippi. |
