We spent the last six months upgrading the Zinn Education Project database to make it easier for you to find the resources you need, to streamline the log-in process, and to improve the overall look and operation of the website.

In 2008, the Zinn Education Project started out by distributing 4,000 teaching guides, copies of A People's History of the United States, and DVDs to teachers for free. Now, five years later, we feature a rich database of materials and free downloadable teaching activities----the only one of its kind----used by
almost 30,000 educators.

We appreciate everyone who has contributed, including the 32 organizations that helped promote our initial launch in 2008, Vernal Creative for the new database and continued IT support, and Vibrant Design Group for their original, brilliant design. We also thank our 2012-2013 donors, without whose support this would not have been possible. 
 

Thanks to Our Donors!

Just a few of our donors. L-R: William Holtzman, Maria T. Kluge, Sonia and Angel Nieto, David Colapinto, Kipp Dawson, and Judy Richardson.

Our work would not be possible without the generous support of our 2012 and 2013 donors.

on the Politics of Naming

For April, Diversity Month, the Zinn Education Project collaborates with StoryCorps to share resources on the Anglicizing of names. Featured resources are "To Say the Name Is to Begin the Story," a community building lesson by Linda Christensen on the personal and cultural significance of naming, and an animation by StoryCorps called Facundo the Great. We also present a list of books and resources for the classroom on the politics and practices of naming for grades K-12.
