Join us to explore the rich legacy of Bayard Rustin, a life-long activist for racial equality and an unwavering proponent of nonviolence. Discover how Bayard Rustin’s treasured possessions, correspondence, and ephemera capture the spirit and legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. Using the Speaking Truth to Power exhibition and the Rustin Collection we will delve deeply into various methods for teaching with primary sources, demonstrating how object-centered pedagogy can empower both teachers and students. During and after this workshop, we will also share resources and lesson plans that encourage each of us to consider how we can harness our own potential as changemakers.
