Gateway Arch National Park presents a FREE educator workshop.
Segregation, steering, racial covenants, red-lining, and even urban renewal have controlled the movement of people and separated and divided communities. These practices were used throughout the country, including St. Louis. This
workshop will challenge and correct many of the incomplete and over-simplified histories. Join us as those who lived this history tell their stories and help us hear and share the truth. A bus tour of significant sites will also be included. The
workshop is designed to complement Middle School and High School curriculum. Educators will come away with new content knowledge, primary source documents, classroom activities and best practices for teaching difficult
and controversial history topics to their students.
