Election Day Educator Event: Shirley Chisholm and Civics: From NYC to the Nation’s Capital

Join us for a free, full day of professional learning exploring civic connections for your students through the life of Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman to run for president on a major party ticket. This interdisciplinary day includes workshops for K-12 educators.

With the 2024 election cycle in mind, learn about Chisholm in her own words and through an array of historical artifacts, art, photographs, and video; glimpse into her life through hands-on interactives; and reflect on Chisholm as both an inspirational figure to subsequent generations and a changemaker whose work remains unfinished.
