Echoes of Activism: Using Oral History Interviews to Craft a Lesson Plan
Sari Leigh will present the Mind, Body and Justice Oral History project at the Social Justice Curriculum Fair. The workshop will help educators to design a lesson plan for health activism using oral history archives in the DC DIG Library.
In this 50-minute interactive session, participants will engage with excerpts from the Mind, Body, and Justice Oral History Project and other DC-based archives. Through guided deep listening, we will examine themes of community care and resilience, and explore how to translate these narratives into culturally responsive, student-centered lesson plans that uplift local voices and histories.
