Description:
Join
Holocaust Museum Houston for the first lecture in their 2020 Latinx
Heritage Month Virtual Lecture and Film Series. This month, Holocaust Museum Houston will be
hosting authors and scholars who have contributed to highlighting Latinx
history, identity, culture, and cross-cultural collaborations.
An African American and Latinx History of the United States is
a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history which argues
that the “Global South” was crucial to the development of America as we
know it. The book spans more than 200 years and is told from the
viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists. It reveals the
radically different ways people of the diaspora addressed issues still
plaguing the United States today.
Paul Ortiz is an Associate
Professor of History at the University of Florida and Director of the
Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Ortiz has published and taught in
the fields of African-American history, Latino Studies, the African
Diaspora, Social Movement Theory, U.S. History, U.S. South, labor and
documentary studies. He is the author of Emancipation Betrayed: The
Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence from
Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920 and co-editor of the oral
history Remembering Jim Crow: African Americans Tell About Life in the
Segregated South.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Donations are welcomed. Advance registration is required, because guests
will receive a private Zoom link.

Description:
In 2020, the state of Colorado passed a bill requiring the incorporation of Holocaust and Genocide studies into an existing course that is currently a high school graduation requirement in public schools. What does this mean for Colorado educators? Join this professional learning opportunity, hosted by the Colorado Holocaust Educators, to explore responsible methodological principles and effective resources, including primary sources and visual history testimonies found in Echoes & Reflections, that can help to fulfill the mandate across disciplines and grade levels.
While our focus will be on Colorado’s requirements, the webinar's content may be beneficial to educators in other mandated Holocaust education states.

Description:
Discoveries in the science of genetics led to the idea that humanity could be improved through better breeding – “positive eugenics.” However, the opposite was thought to be true as well – that the disabled and mentally ill should be sterilized so that they could not breed – “negative eugenics.” These ideas were popular in many Western democracies (including the US), but Nazi Germany transformed them into mass murder of several groups defined by the regime as "unfit". This webinar, presented by Dr. David Deutsch, a Yad Vashem educator, will address Nazi murder initiatives against the disabled.
