The Pulitzer Center invites teachers and students to join us on Tuesday, November 17, at 4:30pm EST for a one-hour webinar on The 1857 Project. This webinar will be led by Pulitzer Center education staff, journalist William Freivogel, and educator Christina Sneed.

Inspired by The 1619 Project from The New York Times Magazine, The 1857 Project from Gateway Journalism Review explores the history of race in St. Louis, Missouri and Illinois. It is called The 1857 Project because of the important events that happened in St. Louis that year, such as the Dred Scott decision and the Lincoln-Douglas debates. This 80-page spring issue explores the history of race in the land of Dred Scott through visual and written pieces from journalists, activists, students, and educators.

In this one-hour webinar for educators, the Pulitzer Center education staff will first revisit journalism and education resources connected to The 1619 Project.
