About facinghistory

facinghistory.org

Facing History and Ourselves is a non-profit organization that provides K–12 classrooms with curricula, professional development, and classroom resources to examine racism, bias, and the consequences of intolerance. Its programs use historical case studies—from the Holocaust to civil rights—to cultivate critical thinking, empathy, and civic responsibility among students. Through interactive discussions, evidence-based teaching strategies, and digital tools, Facing History supports teachers and schools worldwide in building inclusive classrooms and empowering students to take action against hate. The organization collaborates with schools and districts to integrate social studies and character education into everyday learning.
