SUMMARY:Survivor Speaks & How to Bring them to your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey is a pioneer in Holocaust Education and has one of the largest populations of Holocaust Survivors. One of the most meaningful and unique experiences a New Jersey student gets is having a Holocaust Survivor or a descendant of Survivors come to speak to their class. The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education and its 30 Holocaust Resource Centers throughout the state are available to assist teachers in giving this experience to their students. This program is designed to\, not only give the experience of hearing a Survivor speak but also to give NJ teachers the tools they need in order to meaningfully and appropriately incorporate live testimony into their Holocaust lessons.

SUMMARY:The Colorful Roots of Labor Unions: How Black\, Brown\, & People of Color Became the Conscience of Labor Unions
DESCRIPTION:Do you know that the American Teachers Association (ATA) saved NEA? The ATA represented Black educators in segregated schools until its merger with NEA in 1966. Do you also know that contributions to the labor movement from Asian Americans\, Pacific Islanders\, Jewish people\, Hispanic/Latin American people\, LGBTQIA+ people\, and the disabled have been erased? During this session\, there will be no more erasure. We will center the unheralded and marginalized voices of the labor movement.
