2023 Equity Summit: In Pursuit of Equity: Book-Banning and Censorship
October 7, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Book bans in schools and libraries are on the rise. Last school year, more than 850 individual titles were impacted by censorship efforts of local groups and state decision-makers. How can educators and students navigate censorship in their communities?
National Council for History Education (NCHE) and National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) are uniting for a fourth virtual Equity Summit, in support of our history and social studies educators and students, with a focus on book-banning and censorship. Join us for a day of virtual learning, featuring classroom teachers, media specialists, and education organizations, including a keynote by Dr. Yohuru Williams, Professor of History and Founding Director of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas.
The event is free, but registration is required. Educators from all levels are welcome to attend.
