Meet the HistoryMakers: A Day of Education

Since 2002, The HistoryMakers has hosted Meet the HistoryMakers: A Day of Education as part of its year-long educational initiative in Chicago Public Schools. The event attracts an audience of more than 300 public school students, teachers and librarians who participate in a wide range of interactive sessions.

Some of the past sessions have included Interviewing the MediaMakers, A Day in the Life of a Judge and So You Want to Be a Judge?

The purpose of this day is to provide a symposium where students can interact with HistoryMakers from across the country from a wide variety of fields.   Teachers also receive hands-on training for classroom instruction, including training on use of The HistoryMakers website and The HistoryMakers curriculum.
