SUMMARY:Screening of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION at Allen County America250 (Fort Wayne)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FREE\, all day screening of “The American Revolution” to celebrate America250! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPBS Fort Wayne and the Allen County America250 Committee present “The American Revolution” by Ken Burns. The screenings will begin at 10 AM in Meeting Rooms ABC and you will have the opportunity to connect with local organizations\, museums\, and others to see how local history fits into America’s story. \n\nABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY  \nTHE AMERICAN REVOLUTION\, directed by Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein\, and David Schmidt examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion\, won their independence\, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe. \nAn expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America\, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. Through their individual stories\, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers)\, Patriot political and military leaders\, British Army officers\, American Loyalists\, Native soldiers and civilians\, enslaved and free African Americans\, German soldiers in the British service\, French and Spanish allies\, and various civilians living in North America\, Loyalist as well as Patriot\, including many made refugees by the war. \nThe Revolution began a movement for people around the world to imagine new and better futures for themselves\, their nations\, and for humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights\, and it asked questions that we are still trying to answer today. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nCorporate funding for The American Revolution was provided by Bank of America. Major funding was provided by The Better Angels Society and its members Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine with the Crimson Lion Foundation; and the Blavatnik Family Foundation.

SUMMARY:Teaching Media Literacy and Empathy Through Primary Resources: Fort Wayne
DESCRIPTION:Media literacy skills have become essential for young people to successfully navigate and critically assess the ever-increasing amount of information they receive throughout their day – on social media\, advertisements\, television\, and film. Therefore\, it is crucial for students to comprehend and identify how media\, both historically and in contemporary society\, can be used as a tool to incite hate and violence against certain groups. \nThis learning opportunity examines the events of the Holocaust through the lens of media\, by examining propaganda deployed by the Nazis to discriminate against Jews and other minorities. Educators will gain the tools to facilitate classroom discussions on the role and impact of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust and support their students to critically analyze media in today’s world. \nThrough presentations and hands-on activities\, educators will also walk away with lesson plans and resources to ‘Do History’ in their classrooms and make connections to Auschwitz survivor\, Eva Kor as we take a look at the exhibit Eva Kor From Auschwitz to Indiana. \nRegistration is free of charge. Participants of this workshop are eligible for 6 hours of PGP points as well as a $40 stipend Amazon gift card. Lunch will be provided. Workshop is geared towards High School educators but can be adapted for all grades. \nPlease reach out to education@indianahistory.org with any questions. \nSponsored in part by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Midwest Region Program\, located at Illinois State University. Content created and featured in partnership with the TPS Midwest Region does not indicate an endorsement by the Library of Congress.  \nAdditional support provided by Old National Bank Foundation\, Echoes & Reflections\, and the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council.
