Activist New York 

60 min program for Grades 3–12  

Engage your students in New York’s long history of social activism spanning 350 years.  Inspired by original artifacts and visuals, students will debate and discuss topics ranging from immigration to Civil Rights, trans activism, and the current Movement for Black Lives, and will participate in the tradition of activism by creating a button championing the change they would like to make. This field trip aligns with the NYCDOE’s Civics for All curriculum and initiative.
