SUMMARY:Suffrage Walking Tour of Salt Lake City
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the first women to vote under equal suffrage laws were in Utah? And that they were the only women whose voting rights were revoked by Congress? Utah women’s political participation was controversial because of the practice of polygamy\, and their right to vote was attacked as soon as they cast their first ballots in 1870. Retrace the steps of the first voting women in Salt Lake City while learning about the contentious and complicated twists and turns of their history. From gaining the right to vote in 1870\, losing it in 1887\, and restoring it in Utah’s 1896 constitution\, Utah suffragists knew how to lobby\, parade\, petition\, and persuade to win women’s voting rights\, decades before the passage of the 19th Amendment. \nYou can print out your own self-guided walking tour of Salt Lake’s suffrage sites\, explore them online\, or pick up a printed guide at Council Hall on 300 N. State.

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:Immigration: Has America always wanted 'your poor\, your tired\, your huddled masses'? “
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “has America always wanted ‘your poor\, your tired\, your huddled masses’? “\nImmigration is as old as human history. People move from one place to another for many reasons. When migration occurs across a national border\, it is called immigration. When relocation happens within the same country\, it is termed emigration. Historians often attribute the movement to “push-pull” factors. Sometimes conditions at home become so dangerous or challenging that people are forced to move elsewhere. Wars\, famines\, economic issues or political oppression are often “push” factors encouraging people to seek safety or better conditions somewhere else. Sometimes opportunities in a new land attract newcomers. Cheap and fertile farmlands in the United States lured hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the latter 19th century. Political and religious freedom\, good jobs and educational opportunities “pulled” many to America to seek a fresh start in the states. \nYou’ll reflect on the following questions:\nHow have laws regulating immigration changed over time?\nHow have responses and support for immigrants and refugees evolved over time?\nHow have attitudes or viewpoints about immigration changed over time?

SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “why did it take so long for women to get the right to vote?” Sex and gender are two different concepts. Sex refers to biological differences while gender relates to the roles and expectations culture assigns to each group. Every culture struggles with adjusting the roles of men and women to secure a just and harmonious society. Several factors like religion\, science\, tradition and technology influence gender roles. By tradition\, men had near exclusive domination of politics in the United States\, but that began to change in the 19th century with increasing urbanization\, educational opportunities for women and changes in home responsibilities. \nReflect on the following questions:\nWhat attitudes about their gender and expected role in society did women need to overcome to gain the right to vote?\nWhat tactics did suffragists use to convince society they deserved the right to vote?\nWhat impact did the 19th Amendment have on women and their government?

SUMMARY:Visit Freedom House Museum in Alexandria\, Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Visit the newly reopened Freedom House Museum at 1315 Duke Street. This site is what remains of a large complex dedicated to trafficking thousands of Black men\, women\, and children from 1828 – 1861. This Museum honors the lives and experiences of the enslaved and free Black people who lived in and were trafficked through Alexandria\, Virginia and now includes three floors of powerful exhibits that showcase Alexandria’s Black history and the Black experience in America. Slavery\, race-based laws\, and racial terror erased and diminished African American history and contributions from the national narrative; however\, this Museum seeks to reframe white supremacist history. The Museum is open Thursdays and Fridays 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.\, Saturdays 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, and Sundays and Mondays 1 – 5 p.m.
