History is Relevant | History of Voting Rights

At the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, we teach the impact of violence as a means of effecting government change. Inclusive democratic values help combat the type of hate that led to the bombing on April 19, 1995.

In this FREE History is Relevant professional development workshop, we are proud to host the Gilder Lehrman Institute and present The History of Voting Rights in the United States. Teachers can attend in person or via livestream. The program will include:

• A lecture and Q&A by Professor Duchess Harris (Macalester College)
• A presentation by the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum education team
• A pedagogy session led by Master Teacher Nate McAlister discussing the history of voting rights in the United States from the late eighteenth century to the 2000 presidential election

Participants will receive a certificate for 5 hours of professional development. Livestream participants must attend a minimum of 3 hours to receive a certificate. The deadline to register for the in-person event is November 10.
