Civics Learning Week, March 10 - 14

We’re excited to be part of Civic Learning Week, a national effort to prioritize civic education in order to sustain and strengthen our constitutional democracy! Scheduled for March 10–14 this year, Civic Learning Week is an annual nonpartisan event that brings together students, educators, policymakers, and leaders in the public and private sectors to highlight and further energize the movement for civic education in states and communities across the nation. 

We invite you to join us in this movement to make civic education a nationwide priority by engaging with Civic Learning Week in any or all of the following ways:

Brief and Incomplete asks us to take a look at the histories we think we know and ask: What have we chosen to remember? Who’s missing? And what’s the whole story?

As 19th-century women formed national organizations to work toward woman suffrage, white organizers often marginalized women of color and excluded them from the movement. To advocate for suffrage and address the myriad challenges racism caused their communities, Black women organized through the Black women’s club movement.

NMAH Museum Educator Julie Garner and activist Billie Krishawn explore this history and its relevance to modern-day voting rights. Billie Krishawn is a Washington, D.C., resident who gives time, energy, and resources to help her community, focusing especially on issues around voting rights. She is one of many concerned citizens who, inspired by history, take action to make positive change in their communities.
