How did systems of oppression in Nazi Germany and the United States enable, and inflame what unfolded then, and what patterns can we recognize today? At the same time, participants will gain classroom-ready resources and considerations to help their students not only consider these issues, but also to sharpen their skills in critical thinking, ethical reflection and empathy, and civic responsibility in the face of systems of oppression today. In partnership: The Holocaust Center for Humanity,...

Bryan Stevenson developed the vision for the Legacy Sites in Montgomery, Alabama, after studying how Germany, South Africa, and Rwanda confronted histories of violence and injustice to promote truth, repair, and reconciliation.

Join Tad Roach, Learning and Engagement Specialist at the Equal Justice Initiative, for a discussion on the Legacy Sites and the power of historical research, truth-telling, repair, and healing. Together, we will consider how Stevenson’s model speaks...
