Course of Study: Facing History and Ourselves
Facing History and Ourselves (www.facinghistory.org) helps students to find meaning in the past and to recognize the need for participation and responsible decision making.
Students must know not only the triumphs of history, but also the failures, the tragedies, and the humiliations. Facing History believes that students must be trusted to examine history in all of its complexities, including its legacies of prejudice and discrimination, resilience and courage. This trust encourages young people to develop a voice in the conversations of their peer culture, as well as in the critical discussions and debates of their community and nation.
