SUMMARY:Reform Movements in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks how can citizens of a country affect change for the common good? The French commentator on American society in the 1830s\, Alexis de Toqueville\, observed that Americans are very quick to join together to promote whatever causes they favor\, and there was certainly evidence around him. Reforms on many issues — temperance\, abolition\, prison reform\, women’s rights\, missionary work in the West — fomented groups dedicated to social improvements. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nWhat factors motivated antebellum reformers to take action?\nWhat were the common strategies antebellum reformers used?\nWhat did antebellum reformers achieve?

SUMMARY:Refugees in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks should the United States accept refugees?\nSince its earliest days as part of the United States\, Iowa has a long history of being a destination for those from other countries to find a new home. Such newcomers are called immigrants. A special class of those are people fleeing wars\, persecution or other dangers from their former homes. These immigrants are termed “refugees.” Like the larger class of immigrants\, Iowa has confronted both the challenges and opportunities of accepting new arrivals as permanent residents\nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nHow has America helped refugees in the past?\nWhat has been Americans’ attitude towards refugees?\nWhat are the possible risks associated with helping refugees?

SUMMARY:Civil Rights: Before\, During and After the World Wars
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks should you fight for a country that is fighting against you? “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.” That is the official motto of the state of Iowa. Liberties and rights refer to our freedoms to pursue our own goals\, but they must balance those with the rights and liberties of others. Rights and liberties often deal with restrictions on what the government can do\, but they also include what we can or cannot do to others. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nWhat is the story of the disenfranchised Iowans who contributed to Iowa’s effort during World War I?\nDid their contribution to the war effort influence society’s beliefs about each of these groups of Iowans?\nDid the public support these disenfranchised groups and their contributions to the war effort\, or did they continue to treat these groups poorly?

SUMMARY:African Americans and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks\, “how should the African-American story of the Civil War be told?” While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South\, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union\, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery\, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority\, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nHow did President Abraham Lincoln and Congress’ approach to handling slavery evolve throughout the Civil War?\nWhat contributions did enslaved people and free African Americans make to the Union war effort?\nAfter a Union victory and the close of the war\, what possibilities did the future hold for all African Americans?

SUMMARY:Reflecting on the Reconstruction Era
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “did the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War result in freedom\, equality and civil rights for African Americans?” The Reconstruction Era lasted from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to 1877. Its main focus was on bringing the southern states back into full political participation in the Union\, guaranteeing rights to former slaves and defining new relationships between African Americans and whites. While very little fighting occurred on Iowa soil and Iowa had never legalized slavery\, black migration of former slaves into the region and the national focus on civil rights forced Iowa to reconsider its own racial relations. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:How free were African Americans during Reconstruction?Were African Americans considered equal members of society and treated as such?How much political power did African Americans have during Reconstruction? \n\n

SUMMARY:Reconstruction and Its Impact on Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “was Reconstruction a success?” The Reconstruction Era lasted from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to 1877. Its main focus was on bringing the southern states back into full political participation in the Union\, guaranteeing rights to former slaves and defining new relationships between African Americans and whites. While very little fighting occurred on Iowa soil and Iowa had never legalized slavery\, black migration of former slaves into the region and the national focus on civil rights forced Iowa to reconsider its own racial relations. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nHow did the presidential election of 1876 end Reconstruction?\nHow did the U.S. Supreme Court originally interpret the Constitution’s Reconstruction amendments?\nHow did the South restore white supremacy after the fall of Reconstruction?

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:For Educators + Students: What’s YOUR Civic Superpower?
DESCRIPTION:Civic Season is about finding your Civic Superpower! This includes motivating young people to make space for more telling stories from the past\, more voices from the present\, and more input on what an annual tradition for civic participation could look like. When Civic Season kicks off in June 2025\, you can explore a multitude of offerings and activities filtered by topic\, location\, and format\, designed to support your own personal exploration into history and democracy. These learning resources include digital content to support schools\, students\, and communities participating in virtual and place-based events. What role will you play? How will you tell your story? We can help!

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.
