Facing History and Ourselves has partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) to develop a special poster set. The 11 full-color posters are designed to encourage dialogue, engagement, respect and participation in the classroom and beyond. The poster sets are available online for free download and highlight the four stories featured in the traveling exhibition currently on national tour. This exhibition examines the impact and history of racism and injustice, and looks at the courageous choices people have made to build strong and inclusive communities. Heartland AEA can print the posters. The production order form is online at http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/print/Graphics.html.
