Modjeska Monteith Simkins House : 2025 Marion Street, Columbia, SC 29201
Join Historic Columbia for a virtual two-day professional development workshop! Using live, interactive online sessions, teachers will examine Civil Rights and Intersectionality in South Carolina.
Participants will be able to explore resources available for their classroom through Historic Columbia (including the reinterpretation project at Modjeska Monteith Simkins’ House), the South Carolina Historical Society, the South Carolina Geographic Alliance, South Carolina Collaborative for Race and Reconciliation, and the South Carolina Council for History Education. Teachers will also have the opportunity to develop curriculum materials using local stories to connect the Civil Rights movement in South Carolina to the national movement. University of South Carolina's Dr. Valinda Littlefield will be joining us as the featured guest lecturer.

Registration for the virtual workshop includes access to live sessions through Google Meet, recordings of the workshop sessions, a shared Google Drive with virtual copies of the materials, as well as access to a Seesaw classroom for live collaboration.
