This year’s NCSS Conference will take place November 21-23 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts. You will find the education staff of the Library of Congress in booth number 821 in the exhibit hall.  In addition, we will present two sessions: Supported Inquiry into Civil Rights: Primary Sources and Oral History on Friday from 9:00am – 9:55am in Room 108 and Primary Sources . . . Public Action: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 on Saturday from 2:30pm – 3:25pm in Room 110.

Whether you are able to join us in Boston or not, take a look at this selection of some of our favorite ideas and resources for Social Studies teachers.
