95 years ago today, a King was born.
He was a dreamer…and so much more.
A defender of those being oppressed and a challenger of oppressors.
A student of the human condition and a strategist for humane change.
A teacher, a thinker, a truth teller.
King.

Inquiry-based learning helps students develop this important skill while also sparking curiosity. 🔍
Teachers, want to incorporate the use of primary sources, but aren’t sure where to start? Check out this National Archives site—it offers sample worksheets of a variety of documents for younger and older students.

It’s #WorldRangerDay!
In 1872, Yellowstone National Park became the world’s first federally designated national park. Since then, protected areas have been established around the world. Rangers remain a key force in protecting these resources.
Do you recognize the woman photographed w/ President Gerald Ford in the Oval Office? What if we told you she was once the most famous child actress in America?

Are you kidding me!?!? A Dunlap copy of the Declaration of Independence, a printing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and one of the 13 printings of the Constitution!! Thank you, Gabriel and @Gilder_Lehrman for making this possible.
The time has officially come to say goodbye. Thank you all for helping me to grow social studies in Nebraska. I will never forget your kindness, graciousness, and the overall joy of social studies you have shared with me. Until we meet again. #OTD#Nebraska
@lbroady Man. I am glad that Twitter only gives me a few characters on this platform because I could write paragraphs about what you (and your family) mean to me. Thank you for everything from the very bottom of my heart.
