The Role of History Education in Community Change – Voices of Takoma Authors

Dr. Jenice L. View
Sunday, March 17 at 4:30 PM

7328 Carroll Avenue

Dr. View will talk about the ways schools and communities can use lessons from the historic civil rights movement to bring about social justice today. She also will share her experience with disseminating these ideas locally, nationally, and across the world.

Among her publications is the award-winning book Putting the Movement Back into Civil Rights Teaching, with a foreword by the late Congressman John Lewis. Her book is a featured title at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

She is Associate Professor Emerita of Education at George Mason University. After careers in academia and the non-governmental sector, she is now co-owner with her two daughters of Three Points of View (3PV), a Black women-owned consulting group focused on education policy, program development, and cultural ambassadorship.

Dr. View grew up in Takoma Park, DC, where she currently resides, and is a proud product of DC public schools.
