How Do We Teach What It Means to Be an American? | Civic Conversations

How do the founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, connect to our civic values and the fundamental right of citizenship? Being an American explores how our American heroes challenged the status quo in the fight for liberty, equality, justice, and a more perfect union through in-depth primary sources, lessons, activities, and discussion prompts.

BRI's Director of Outreach Rachel Davison Humphries hosts a conversation about the missing voices of Black authors from American history. and BRI's classroom resource 'The Plainest Demands of Justice: Documents for Dialogue on the African American Experience.'
