At the March 21, 2009 “Uncovering Civil Rights in Our Communities” workshop, teachers started the day with two exercises–History on Location Exercises

Teachers used this map of the Vancouver National Historic Reserve to map the invisible histories on site.

They began the day thinking about what kinds of questions they might ask to uncover lived experience. They were provided with an example of oral history panel interviewing, interview tips, and the Principles and Standards of the Oral History Association.
