Please join us for an evening with award-winning author, historian, and Emory University professor Dr. Carol Anderson. Dr. Anderson will discuss threats to voter access and democracy in America and the importance of civic and history education for students today. In April, Dr. Anderson came to Palo Alto and spoke with the Hon. Rebecca Westerfield (see above). It was such an engaging event, that we wanted to bring her back for a conversation with East Bay friends and educators.

ABOUT FACING HISTORY
Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate. We believe that the racism, prejudice, and inequity that we witness today are the legacy of brutal injustices of the past. Through our partnership with educators around the world, we are creating the next generation of leaders who will build a world based on knowledge and compassion, the foundation for more democratic, equitable, and just societies.
