For the annual Maryland Civic Education & Engagement Summit, we partnered with @mdcivics to design and send physical flair to participants so they can show their support for the coalition all year long!

Congratulations to Liwen from @BullisSchool who focused on surgeon Vivien Thomas. Liwen writes 'I want everyone to remember Vivien Thomas, a legendary pioneer who opened up a new era in cardiac surgery and led more African Americans into the medical world." Great work!

On this day in 1954, Thurgood Marshall, a legend of our state and a champion for equity, helped deliver justice in the Brown vs. Board of Education case.

The anniversary of this case reminds us that we must always continue to fight for equity in education for our children.

First statistically significant decline in NAEP Civics scores in 2022. Policymakers must prioritize K-12 civics and provide adequate funding to districts, schools, teachers and students. Now, more than ever, we need #CivXNow

[CivxNow @CivxNow]

From @AP: 8th graders who learned about civics in a designated class outperformed those where it was embedded in another class; only 7 states currently require civics in middle school. We need #CivXNow https://t.co/9sN8WXLInn
