 “Facing History’s partnership with the Diversity Committee in Piedmont, and with a large number of mentor teachers in that community as well, would not have come about without the history of their involvement with TRI. ... [We] would not have had the opportunity to pose the essential questions about content and pedagogy and the themes that connect the work of all of us without [TRI’s] leadership.” -Jack Weinstein, Facing History |
