SUMMARY:The Great Task Youth Leadership Program
DESCRIPTION:History can do more than instruct; it can also inspire. The “Great Task” Youth Leadership Program is for student\, school\, or youth groups in grade levels 7 to 12\, looking for intensive leadership and character-building experiences. The “Great Task” Youth Leadership Program is based upon the ideals set forth in President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address\, “It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion…”\nWhile in Gettysburg\, participants learn about the actions\, decisions\, leadership and other traits demonstrated by ordinary individuals confronted with the extraordinary challenges during the battle. Participating students will then work to apply lessons of leadership and good character to identified community service projects in their own home communities.\nApply now for on-site experiences in fall 2021.\nThis award winning program is a joint partnership between Gettysburg National Military Park and the American Battlefield Trust with financial support by the Bowe Stewart Foundation.

SUMMARY:Voting & States Rights—Rights for All?
DESCRIPTION:It’s important to understand the role of states in extending—and limiting—the right to vote. We might think that voting as a right for everyone was part of our founding values—but history tells us differently. Protecting your right to vote begins at your state legislature.

SUMMARY:Does an amendment give you the right to vote?
DESCRIPTION:You’ve likely heard\, perhaps on the news or in the classroom\, that the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave or granted African American men the right to vote. It’s a turn of phrase that works as a shorthand. Unfortunately\, it’s also a bit misleading.

SUMMARY:Peaceful transfers of power? Not a guarantee in early America
DESCRIPTION:Journalists and commentators have invoked historic precedents to contextualize the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. While unprecedented in many ways\, those events are also part of a long history of bitter partisanship and political violence in the United States. Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1800 offers an example: the peaceful transfer of power was anything but a foregone conclusion. Historian Lindsay M. Chervinsky discusses historic examples of sedition\, violence\, and mob action in the early decades of American history.

SUMMARY:Join a Collective Video Response to "A Hard Road to Freedom"
DESCRIPTION:A Hard Road to Freedom: Positively Impacting the Present\nView a video on the Black experience on North Carolina’s Outer Banks during the Civil War and early Reconstruction that includes period photography and drawings. Viewers ages 18-30 participate by answering lending input related to the video that will be turned into a video response to A Hard Road to Freedom and viewable on the museum’s website.\nA Hard Road to Freedom informs viewers of the struggle of enslaved and formerly enslaved people that flocked to Hatteras Island and Roanoke Island\, NC during the war to seek freedom\, refuge\, and work. Viewers can gain an understanding of a transitional and complex time in history where society was battling views of enslavement and freedom. The video brings to the fore the challenges faced by African Americans in the 1860s. It highlights the successes and failures of the Freedman’s Colony on Roanoke Island -where the Union Army was encamped and where more than 2\,000 African Americans flocked between 1862-1867. The video also invites dialogue on how the past helps us understand the present and inform the future.\nWith the latter in mind\, the 2022 Civic Season program includes a questionnaire created to illicit response and provoke thought on how\, with knowledge\, people can gain understanding and bring people closer to one another in an inclusive and humanitarian sense. The goal is to provoke self-reflection\, inspire action\, and examine the role history education can play by following this little-known chapter of history to modern day. In the end\, the goal is to make a lasting personal and emotional impact that motivates positive action.\nQuestionnaire\nThis questionnaire will be posted on our website and open to viewers between the ages of 18-30. The criteria for choosing questionnaire answers to include in the subsequent video will be those that share positive ideas and reflective thought to make a difference in life.\nParticipants also will provide an image of themselves or one that they identify with in a positive way to be included with their answers that will be combined to create a collective video response to A Hard Road to Freedom. The response will be called Positively Impacting the Present and posted on the museum website with A Hard Road to Freedom.\n1. How did this video affect you emotionally and intellectually and why?\n2. What image(s) in the video moved you the most and why?\n3. Do you feel the Freedman’s Colony was successful? Explain.\n4. What could have been done to improve conditions in the Colony? How would your idea be implemented?\n5. How can you reach your age demographic with your message?\n6.How can this video influence your future actions?\n7. Share an idea or plan to make a difference through a community program or a personal action based on equality\, inclusion\, and the specific needs of a community.\n8. How does this video affect your views on the presentation of history in education?\n9. Does social inequity affect your life? If so\, how\, and how have you managed?\n10. Has history affected your life and how?\n11. What role does language play in promoting inclusion?\n12. What is the most important thing you learned by watching this video?\n13. How can understanding the past inform the future?

SUMMARY:America We Want To Be: Founding Aspirations
DESCRIPTION:When the Declaration of Independence was written\, not everyone was included in the famous statement about “pursuit of Life\, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” And while the aspirations expressed in our founding documents resonate for some more than others\, there are many views regarding the degree to which we have advanced these aspirations for everyone. Some focus more on the great strides we have made; others point to how far we still need to go. Some believe that focusing on the past prevents forward progress; others think we still need to come to terms with our shadow side. This conversation guide walks folks through exploring this topic together.

SUMMARY:How We Became America: The Untold History (Videos)
DESCRIPTION:How We Became America: The Untold History shines light on stories that don’t always make it into the classroom. This free collection of short\, riveting history videos is designed for teachers and students alike but can be enjoyed by all. Untold is here to fill in the gaps of knowledge that exists outside of our history textbook and brings new stories to life. \nWhile the initial series premiered last year\, a new installment of 15 videos was introduced in 2022 with an eye toward the American Civil War. A conflict of immense depth\, the Civil War is explored through several lenses in the Untold series. Viewers will learn about such things as the vital and diverse roles of women during the war\, the emergence of new technologies and innovations\, how the camera changed the way war was viewed by the mass public\, the great weight of the two-minute Gettysburg Address\, the evolution of medical kits and how they empowered medics in the field\, how Native Americans chose sides in the war and why Black soldiers put their lives on the line to preserve the Union. And at no longer than three minutes\, they are sure to hold even the shortest of attention spans. \nHow We Became America: The Untold History stems from the partnership between the American Battlefield Trust and the Driving Force Institute for Public Engagement (DFI)\, and this latest Civil War installment received generous financial support from the HTR Foundation.
