DHHRM | 2026 Candy Brown Holocaust and Human Rights Educator Series: American-Texas Upstanders in Social Studies and Literature

The Candy Brown Holocaust and Human Rights Educator Series allows educators, librarians, and counselors to connect with the Museum over two sessions covering topics related to the Museum's educational mission and the history in the exhibition. Each session has a registration fee of $25 or $40 for both sessions. Scholarships are available for attendees from Title I schools.

Each session includes access to keynote speakers, a classroom resource kit, the Upstander Education Database, a guided tour of the exhibition, CPE credit, free parking in the Museum garage, a continental breakfast, and lunch!

Educators living more than 40 miles away may apply for a hotel scholarship OR opt to attend virtually. We do highly recommend in-person attendance. The deadline for hotel scholarship applications is March 31, 2026, and recipients will be notified beginning April 15, 2026.
